       During years of reading posts by people with MS I've noticed how
       often long wait-times for an appointment with a neurologist are
       mentioned. This study addresses that issue, at least so far as
       patients referred from emergency departments are concerned.
       From the abstract:
       [quote]There is currently a shortage of neurologists providing
       outpatient care, contributing to long wait-times. Stanford
       Neurology has an average wait-time of 86 days between the date
       of referral from the emergency department (ED) and the date of
       their outpatient appointment.[/quote]
       Presented at the April AAN annual meeting--"Improving wait-times
       in outpatient neurology for patients referred from the emergency
       department--a pilot study":
