On my question, there is an eerie resonance with other areas, whereby, for example, although the waiting list for a colonoscopy is ten months, if it is urgent, it is not. How does one know in advance which symptom is urgent and which is not? How does a general practitioner know which candidate ophthalmology patient going to a clinic has an urgent problem and which does not? That is why the patients need to see an ophthalmologist.
