I can't believe they're still doing things the old way, in Ottawa. Same system, but very different in Peterborough. The breast clinic has no waiting times. A woman comes in in the morning, for a mammogram or whatever led to her being there. If a lump or curious finding is observed, she then goes on to have aspirations, or open biopsy, or whatever, right away. The radiologist is right there, and nobody goes home until they have a clear answer. By 5 p.m., that same day, usually. And if it takes longer, the staff stay on.
I'm sorry you have to wait.
