One of my cousins died from pancreatic cancer last month. When he was in the diagnosis stage his GP made him appointment with a specialist. Weeks went by and he recieved no letter or phone call of his appointment from the specialist. He made a few phone calls and found the request made by his GP was sent to the wrong person.
