I found out this morning that my local rheum had not done anything to get me an appointment at JH that was supposed to be started working on a month ago. My request for guidance on my returning sinus pain and increased nose bleeding was answered 2 days later (this morning) with instructions to go to my general doctor or find an ENT to check on it. I was supposed to have a follow up appointment 2 weeks ago and they're "trying to find" an appointment for me. At that clinic, if you arrive 15 minutes late you are rescheduled, but wait hours to be seen. My primary care doctor years ago said that's how it is with rheums, too many patients and not enough hours in the day.
Is this typical? What is reasonable to expect from a rheum? If it were my primary doctor, I would have fired him already!
