Issue with Dependent's Medical Results

All our documents are ready for submission except for my daughter's proof of medical exam. The Panel Physician has ordered further tests because her head circumference and length are on the 3rd percentile, which, according to the CIC instructions will be graded B (i.e. indicates that there are significant abnormal findings present and/or an abnormal history). The panel physician agreed not to submit the medical with a Grade B until we provide a medical report/clearance from a pediatric endocrinologist.

Our deadline of submission is August 11 and the only pediatric endocrinologist at a private clinic has gone on a month-long summer vacation and will be back on August 10. It is unlikely that we can get an appointment with the pediatric endocrinologist at the public hospital as my daughter's case is not urgent.

Has anybody encountered this before? Any advise on a way forward?

If we decide to get her CIC-mandated medical in another neighboring country, would any questions arise from having her medical report submitted by a different panel physician than the rest of her family? Has anybody done this before and if so, what was the outcome?

Many thanks in advance!
