That's a tough spot either way. And no you don't want to have have to go through all that again. I remember how much pain you were in. And having to decide if you can afford to miss work to take care of your medical needs the whole thing really stinks! I don't know what you should do, but I hope if you decide to go that you would get lucky and get seen quickly in the first day.

They likely can't telephone you the results hey? I am sorry, this does suck. I wish everyone word wide has access to good medical care, proper treatment, and that people in need would be given the same priority as the rich. Call me a socialist or whatever, I hate seeing people like you and DH, and others here struggling between finances and medical expense. It's just so wrong on so many levels.

so sorry you have to make a decision around your heath. I hope you choose to go, I just would hate for it to happen again and then have to go through this whole process and waiting for referral again while your dying in pain. lots of and to you my amazing buddy.
