Another discussion brought this one back to mind and I thought I should mention that on Tuesday, I finally got a call back about a psychologist's appointment with the rehabilitation mob that I got the mental health care plan for. Five weeks later!! Too bad if I was suicidal or anything. I do understand that they were short-staffed but what annoys me is that during that time, no-one ever rang me to say that they were still working on getting me in, or suggested a referral to someone else. Basic customer service 101! I am seeing someone else, now - I have three appointments provided by Country Fire Service and then the mental health care plan will take over - and her office organised for my plan to be changed to reflect the change when another recommended psychologist's office insisted that I would have to go back to the GP. The thing is, I just don't have the emotional reserves to deal with shit like this - one of the reasons I need the psych! Thank goodness for the CFS! This is just a rant - I'm slowly getting my equilibrium back.
