aaaand, the first doctor left me a voicemail indicating she's done the paperwork. that's no doubt a result of the threat, so it worked. i wish it didn't come to that, but so be it.
so.
that actually puts off the aspirin stunt for quite a while, at least until i get a response from the ministry.
if i get the extension as well, i can mix and match the two forms and see what is best.
but i have SOMETHING to submit, now. thankfully.
(i should rephrase that. i can't mix and match. but i can pick the best one.)
