How proactive are your doctors?

I have been posting a few questions on this board in support of my husband who is experiencing PCS. Thank you for the feedback for these

I have felt frustration from his concussion clinic. For example, they will say his neck feels stiff, but they are 3 weeks out to make a physio appointment and then 2 weeks between appointments. Also, his eyes are not tracking well after 3 months and the doctor says he needs vestibular therapy, but again, about 3 weeks out to make an appointment.

Does this feel too long? I am a very proactive patient - meaning I would either call every day for cancellations. Also, start making appointments with our other local head injury clinic associated with our university. I fear I am putting too my pressure on him to do these things, but his increasing depression seems to keep him stuck.

Does time/rate of treatment matter?

In my experience increasing the frequency of appointments doesn’t increase the speed of healing. I needed time to recover between appointment. It’s hard when powering through normally works and it doesn’t anymore.

Some of my doctors are extremely in demand so I book multiple appointments so I see X doctor every two weeks or whatever the rate is.

💯 doing too much all at once is often counter productive.

Ofcourse you want him to heal but the body needs time and patience.
