Sent over my info, and at first when they called yesterday they were going to make an appt. I filled them in on what's been happening over the last couple weeks and the MRI I had.

They called me this morning and told me that no, they don't want to see me now, and to wait for the appt at UCSF. I thought maybe she could at least order tests before I got there, but was told that they'd send me over there for tests anyway.

I am assuming that I'm so bad or complex that they just want to keep me at the best place around here. This means that every single time I have to see a neuro I have to drive into the city (and really drive, they're not near BART unfortunately [which is like the subway]). At least I know they're kick butt and all. But I know that even follow up appts will be a longer waiting time then I'd like. My appt is 9/10. Anybody know what the follow up timing is at these big university hospitals? I know somebody on here has been to that hospital and said I'd be in good hands.
