That is why I said (a few times)...tell your T. I'm still not going to come to any conclusions about this person because none of us know why it is taking so long. What if she is trying to contact the T to see if it is ok to squeeze you into a schedule that is booked up? What if she got sick and your T had to take over for a few days, but can't call you right now? And in terms of you thinking she doesn't hear the desperation in your voice, we don't know that either. When I would get a call where the person sounded desperate, I would often save the message so that the pdoc could listen to it himself and decide how quickly to see them. Sometimes the pdoc would just call them to calm them down rather than set up an appointment. There are a million possibilities of why this could be happening. I'm just trying to give you the perspective of the other side so that you can understand that there are times when it is out of the assistant's hand.
That is why you should write the timeline of what is happening and tell your T. Let him deal with it, whether it is telling you why it took so long or talking to the assistant. Try not to stress. That will only make it worse and make it seem like it is taking longer than it is. Some one will get back to you, it is just a matter of when.
