I have been waiting about 3 months to see the kidney dr about my kidneys. I was referred by my dr. I am leaking protein and its getting worse. A couple new labs weren't too good. Well we called them again in hopes of knowing when I might get an appointment.

They said they are backed up 500 patients deep and hope to schedule me an appointment by the end of the year! I really hope my kidneys aren't too bad because that's a long time. They only have two drs on staff and they only spend one week out of the month in the clinic, the rest of the time they spend at the hospital.

I would like to know whats going on with this because it gives me anxiety all the time. My pdoc prescribed me klonopin yesterday to help deal with some of this.
