I try not to complain very often but... We live overseas as many of you know and we have one place to be seen by a doctor, well I called to make an appointment today and the soonest they can get me in is on the 27th!!! I have an urgent issue that needs taken care of promptly because my husband and I are planning baby #2, but that is no concern to them, I was told that I would just have to wait

The urgent issue involves a mass on my ovary that needs to be biopsied for cancer, but it's still not urgent for them, this has been going on since Aug. of last year now, and they still can't tell me what the mass is! I want another baby, I'm tired of waiting on them to clear me!!! GRRRRR!!!

I hate this sometimes!!!

What an awful thing to be going through. Wish you the very best!

Can they put you on a 'will call' list so if someone cancels, they call you?

Not really, the hospital and one clinic covers all of the military here, I believe there are 250,000 of us, don't quote me on that though. Anyhow, they are bringing in all the marines from Japan next year on top of that, I have no clue how they think they can handle all those people! They said I could call at 6am each morning and try to get in, so that is what I will have to do I suppose...

I am so sorry! I hope that you get lucky with one of those 6am calls.

How sad that our folks over there dont have the support and services that they need. You will certainly be in our thoughts!

Im sorry they are so inconsiderate the threat of cancer to me is something CONCERNING! They may be busy but they could have atleast promised to notify you of any new openings

See if there is a way around the gatekeepers. Sometimes going to the clinic and talking in person to one of the adminstrators helps. The people that answer the phones are useless. This could be an emergency situation and delay could possibly mean your life.

That sounds like something the local news would love to report on! I'd call every reporter in your hometown area and see if anybody's interested in it, then let it go nationwide.

I could get my husband in trouble by doing that, believe me they do some pretty crappy stuff to us but I still love the militray as does my husband... I would say 85% of it is good so I usually just take it and like it
