"Endometriosis"

My GP referred me to King Edward Memorial Hospital around August 2021 after an ultrasound confirmed I have late-stage endometriosis and it is likely I would need surgery.

Around a couple months later, the first correspondence I received was a letter stating my first appointment (a phone call) had been rescheduled. I had never received a letter confirming the first appointment at all and now it was already rescheduled. As per the letter, even if the call was scheduled at a certain time, I need to be available for the next 3 hours in case there is a delay, so I discussed with my work and made sure I would be available.

At the time of writing this, now I've been informed the first appointment has been rescheduled again. I am already confident this will be rescheduled too as I recall it's after the WA borders open and I believe Covid will be cited as the reason.

Almost about 4 months waiting for a first appointment which is only a phone call I feel is ridiculous and yet again I need to block 3 hours off of work to ensure I can take a phone call as it seems to me the hospital isn't required to keep to its own appointments, but apparently I need to be constantly ready for any changes they make.
