This is unacceptable is what it is. After you get through all of the slide/reports/scan requests and referrals you should be able to get in anywhere relatively easily, especially if you've gotten a referral through a physician. I'd look someplace else while still keeping the door open at city of hope. The name is kind of ironic?
