I initially saw the pulmanologist at 2 weeks and 6 months. He then said he wanted to see me in two years. I go to the appointments desk and they tell me they don't make appointments that far ahead. "Come back in a year and make the appointment then." One year later I call them up. "Sorry, you referral has expired. You will have to see your GP and he will have to submit a new referral request." Time for a GP appointment? "8 weeks."

Meh. Haven't seen the pulmanologist in just over 5 years.

Never did see a doctor. Had a sleep study done and got a report by mail. Probably better that way. I get my info here, from the REAL experts.
