I'm Trying To Help Someone With Getting Help. He's Medical

I'm trying to help someone with getting help. He's Medical and we've been running circles trying to get him help. It took two years to finally get the Dr. to give him authorization for a colonoscopy. He is 54 years old. He's had rectal bleeding. Finally he went to the Dr. for a screening test and they put on his form "functional dyspepsia and encounter screening malignant neoplasm of colon. But now he can't have a colonoscopy until April 19th. Am I crazy of this this something that needs attention much sooner?
