Hi all hope all is well as most of you know I am from Australia I am interested to know anyone from the us. or any other country when you are attending a specialist at a public hospital if you cancel. an appointment or two appointments do they request another referral here sometimes they may request another referral if you cancel two appointments I believe in India you don't have to have a referral and one more question has anyone who has done research on a drug and approached their specialist even though they haven't prescribed it

In Canada, in the province of BC, you can cancel as many appointments as you want as long as you give 24-48 hours notice. You only need another referral if 6 months have passed since the last time you seen your rheumatologist.

As for your second question, I will be talking to my rheumatologist about minocycline in June. My rheumy is very approachable.

Hi Ricky

I'm based in Scotland and whilst I can't comment the midding appointments with rheumatology , as I've never missed one , I know if you miss more than one appointment in physio, mental health services, ENT fir example, you're automatically discharged and require to be re referred.

As far as I am aware if you cancel appointment in plenty of time with a good reason you will not be discharged. If DNA appointment will be discharged.

I have never done that before so I haven't had the problem. I put all appointments in my phone with alerts or I would forget them all. Lol.
