I have never taken any of my kids to a paed before. Just to my local GP or MCHN for their routine checkups.

I took DS to our GP last week who referred him onto a paed. I called the paeds office to organise an appt and the earliest appt i could get in berwick (close to where i live) was in September! The lady asked if i could drive out to Pakenham (which i agreed to) and the earlist one in Pakenham was on the 30th of June!

I was gob smacked.
