His doctor so he can be evaluated for an appointment at the neurologist. That was in June, his appointment was in September, and the neurology appointment is in January. Over a half year just to even see a doctor. And I have great health coverage through my union. Anything would be better than our current system, it can't get any worse. America is 38th in the world.
