I had an appointment for my child with a neurologist that was supposed to be at mid-afternoon.
We got to the hospital around 20 minutes before and sat and waited for an hour and half with no sign of being seen. I then asked the reception person how long it would be. They told me there was another 3 patients before me. I felt disgusted that I would have had to have waited another 1-3hours before I was seen. I am 6 months pregnant, had to pull my child from school early just to sit in a waiting area for 2hrs. With a 2 hour round drive to get there and back also. My child's health means a lot to me but I am not waiting 4hrs to be seen when I had an appointment time set. Nobody even thought to call me before the appointment to let me know that this neurologist was running late or whilst I was sitting there.
