21 - sending you a hug as well ... However, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you may have to take a deep breath and hold off till Jan/Feb as most of the specialists go on leave, I know how much that will drive you nuts, but what can we do - you are not alone waiting till after christmas, and we can all drive each other nuts with waiting waiting waiting stories ...

Have you tried calling a few Uroligist's ? And ask to be put on a cancellation list, another thing you can do is ask the GP to mark the referal as URGENT - if you get a good GP they will do that for you, I have been a med receptionist in the past and we always had to get urgent patients in pretty much immediatly - I wouldnt care if the GP cant speak english - you will only see them for ten mins, and get them to write urgent - urgent urgent
