My Psychologist is Dangerous to my Mental Health!

So the last time I went to see him I got the word that "yes" I can have T the next time I come to Reykjavík. I ask him to email me contact details for the hrt doc so I can make sure everything is in order on his end seeing as I can't just "come back next week" and so on...
So as soon as I'm home I start making plans.
I let him know, three weeks early, when I'll be in Reykjavík and make all the arrangements....

and nothing!

No word!

Then!, after I probe him via email a couple of times, he tells me who I'll be meeting.
Him, a speech therapist and a doctor who'll be handling the hrt.
I remind him, again, that I would like the contact info for the doc, and ask him to let me know as soon as appointments have been made.

No word again.

Then last tuesday the speech therapist calls me and she sounds utterly confused on the phone, tells me she didn't receive my contact info until that morning. I let her know when I'm coming (information that the psychologist COULD have given her) and it turns out that she's practically booked solid my whole trip! She's able to squeeze me in on the day I arrive though, so that's okay.
So I email my psychologist, again, and let him know she called, and I let him also know that she complained about the short notice and lack of information. I also ask him, again, for contact info for the hrt doc (or at least tell me when/where the appointment with him is, and what day, so I can write it down in my planner and, you know, show up!).

This morning, at around 11, I finally get the man's email and a request that I let HIM (the psychologist) know when my appointment is, so he can get me two more appointments, with him and the gyno (which wasn't even on the list 'till "just now").
So ofcourse the first thing I did was email the doctor in charge of hrt, who's name I finally know, and now, 6 hours later, there's still no reply.

There's only one more work-day until I'm en-route to Reykjavík for my T trip and I don't even know whether I have a doctor's appointment!

I'm not angry though, I'm just seriously disappointed, depressed, annoyed, frustrated, confused, and genuinely worried that this trip, that's been ON THE BOOKS for almost a month! will fall through. Cause, I'm going "for" the T... If I can't get this appointment then the trip is moot.
And I will have spent money on a flight for no reason what so ever.

I just want to curl up somewhere and sulk now.

Damned psychologist.
He told me that he'd get this sorted!

The man does not comprehend the very basics of getting things sorted.
As soon as he had my info (arrival date and time, departure date and time, and my cellphone number) he could have sent a short and sweet email, with that info, my name, and what I'm coming for, to all the relevant people, and asked them to contact me with an appointment. IT'S NOT THAT HARD!

"driving me nuts" is an understatement...

I know, sorry. I remember my first endo appointment. I wasn't sure I was actually going to get the shot that day. I was absolutely terrified that I would be denied. I really think that was the most stressful day of my life. Qualifying exams were nothing compared to that...so I think I know something of what you're going through.

I wish I could do something.

5 hour drive/45 minute flight.

And I "know" I've got the go-ahead to get the T, but the doc that's to prescribe it is.. well.. the one I'm having this problem getting an appointment with.

I've booked my trip and all so it's not like I can just... "skip it"...

Sometimes I wonder if the psychologist enjoys making me feel like this; :eusa_wall:
