      Hi Mike
      I wouldn’t pretend to understand the US health system, but these Dr’s are all human and an appeal to their heart certainly can’t hurt and I would be doing the same in your position. I hope you get your referral as soon as possible and get back on to a program
      Best wishes

      Excellent. I would also call Dr. Jang’s office and ask to speak to his nurse…..letting her know that you have sent this message and need a response TODAY!!! Nurses can get things in front of docs faces. Repeat your plea to the nurse!!!! Sorry you have to fight this hard for basic care. Hugs!! celeste
