Colposcopy/biopsy 7months waiting period

I was referred to RMH by doc at Discovery H, because my pap smear results shows abnormal (pre cancer cells). Because of the High grade nature of the cells, doc wants a colposcopy done. I go to the colposcopy dept (after sitting in the waiting room downstairs for 3 hours) to find two sisters reading newspaper. The one proceeded to take my results (of the pap smear) and referral letter. Only to end up giving me an "appointment card dated 20.03.2020". I'm about to ask her why so long a wait, she tells me close the door, we are busy! No other patients on that floor or in the waiting room! By March I might have a spread of cancer throughout my body! The services and attitudes with lack of compassion in this country is so bad and inhumane, something has to be done. Meanwhile, I'm bleeding every second week, and experiencing terrible stomach cramps. Yet, as you walk down the corridors of the hospitals the doctors and the nursing staff are chatting and reading or walking around aimlessly! Why not get staff in who are willing to work for the care of others and don't take healthcare as a means to only get a paycheck! The have no empathy towards other human beings. I am disgusted and very upset.
