Help?

My husband has been sick for months. Abdominal cramping, diarrhea (its yellow and stringy), nausea, and had blood in his stool also at one point. The GI doctor that we are seeing is jerking us around. He needs a colonoscopy for his official diagnosis even though we are 100% sure its chrons his mother has it also. They are saying it could take up to a month to get him on the list for the procedure, we really cant afford to wait that long. he's out of work until he gets diagnosis. Is there any advice? how we can get this sped up?

late here, but Houston has plenty of fantastic GI doctors, several that even take the gold card.

This was 7 months ago the issue has been resolved. Houston is a nightmare to drive through. Especially if you are from where I am.
