This paper reflects the problems in having a large non-specific waiting-list. One hundred and twenty-eight patients were on a waiting-list under the main diagnosis of prostatism. This diagnosis revealed seven patients with cancer in the urinary tract system. Only two-thirds of the patients on the waiting-list were interested in further examination and treatment. This paper emphasizes the need for a more specific referral, when dealing with symptoms from the lower urinary tract system.
