A local waiting list

A local waiting listA friend took her one year-old daughter to the pediatrician yesterday. Baby is developing a little slower than normal and the pediatrician suggested having her evaluated for language development at Children's Hospital in Boston. The mom told me she took the first available appointment --in mid-February, almost seven months away! Keep in mind this is an upper middle class family with private health insurance.Maybe they should go to the UK or Canada to speed things up?
