I was referred the second weekend of November. I still have not received a letter or a phone call from the hospital I was referred to (originally TWH, but switched to HRRH two days later due to location).

Should I be calling to follow up at this point or be patient and wait it out?

When I switched over, the nurse I spoke to at TWH said if I don't hear from HRRH in 3 weeks, to call... but I'm still trying to be patient (even though it's really hard!)

I was referred to HRRH on Aug 9th. I didn't get an letter or orientation information until Oct t5h.

My orientation was on Nov 9 - exactly 3 months after my referral date.

I did call and gave them my email address, that is where they sent me the package.

Good luck.
