URGENT.....Dr. D. @ NYU Appointment

[trintiybella]

I have an appointment on Sept. 4th for my girl.I tried...but I CAN NOT wait. She is suffering too much. Never tired and does not sleep.Anyway...I have a few plans to get in earlier.

 

1.) Call and BEG for earlier appointment. 2.) See if Dr. Br. (psychiatrist )will call them 3.) Go to ER @ NYU

 

Please give me some advice.

I would try no 1 &2 .

 

If you go to ER,they may inpt psych place her and then she may miss the appt on sept 4.

honestly, the ER is not a friendly place for our kids problems.

you have made it this far a few more weeks you will be OK. I would definitely call and ask to be placed on a waitlist and have your doctor also ask for sooner appt.

I would call and ask for the docs voicemail. Get past the front line. The docs have these people in place because they often themselves have a hard time saying no......I work by appointment so I know....If he gets a message from you directly/via voicemail, he may cave and tell his receptionist to fit you in...He may not even know how badly you are trying to see him....

I would go to the emergency room. If I can't get a hold of my doctors and am having very bad PANDAS symptoms, I go to the NYU emergency room and explain that I have been under the care of a doctor there for about 2 years. They get a hold of him and then treat me.

she has not seen any doctors there yet though. Our first appointment is sept. 4th
