I know there are long wait-lists for specialists in Canada ... but if you have a good rapport with your doc (and I know you do!), than they can pull strings. My doc always gets me on the top of the list of every REQUIRED test or surgery.

I know it seems like MS is very common, cause we hear about it all the time in our "network" of friends . . . but from my experience, the medical community has considerable respect, fear and empathy for this disease. They've always handled me with kid-gloves and have given me the utmost priority, WHEN they know about the MS. Use it to your advantage in this case!

If all else fails, complain till they agree to send you to another city. They will often pay for the trip, accomodation, travel, etc. if the wait is unreasonable.
