Im in Australia and I had to wait 3 years to see a neuro in North Queensland. We have categories based one symptoms. (there are 1,2,3 and emergency) I wa ranked 2. Also had a neuro quit and took while to get replacement. Public waiting lists over here are ridiculous!! But even if you pay for Private Health Insurance, they usually still make you pay. At least public is FREE. (we have medicare and pay a sum out of our tax each yr for this free medical system)
Its fine if you live in one of our big cities, but if you live regionally you are screwed mostly!! (though now QLD health, Queenslands healthcare system, as each state is different, have tried to improve that by providing flights to nearest specialists for approved patients) I had to wait 4 months for my brain MRI though.
But you win with 2 years. Thats INSANE!! Dont think will ever whinge bout our system again hahaha.
Hope you can find a way to have it done sooner!!
