I've been on a waiting list for over a year to see a gastro doc. it hurts to eat right now and i'm having severe abdominal constipation pains off n on?

GI doctor: One year is far too long to be waiting for an appointment. Cannot your primary care physician manage this until you can be seen, or perhaps a brief trip to the US might be beneficial. You should not have a problem being seen here more rapidly. Best wishes.
