Ask your doc for a list of the top neurosurgeons and contact their offices where you will be told how long a wait you would have if you made an appointment, and how much it would cost.

Keep ringing the hospital and your doctor, if any symptoms you have are not getting worse then you will wait. Have you been sent for MRI or CT scan yet?

Then you will wait a long time, I had my MRI and CT before I got anywhere near a doctor in Dublin.

I was lucky in a way as my symptoms were getting worse, you will wait months and if lucky you will see someone for 5 minutes.
