Phil Brown replied to the topic What kind of a role does music play in your life? in the forum Diagnosis Information and General Questions 9 months, 3 weeks ago

This is when problems began. The referral got lost and it was six months before I got to the clinic. They said they would do a report and I should see my doctor in about a month. The report took nine months to get done.
