My PCP is remote in Amherst, MA, but I would say she was pretty vocal about getting an appointment right away. Maybe she was under the impression that would be sooner than the timeframes quoted.

The risk is a potential prolactinoma - a tumor. I was vocal about this when attempting to schedule, but it was all the same. No urgency, no sympathy. Just the normal quotes timeframes.

Potential brain tumor has nothing on me!

Well, there’s another issue. You’re using a PCP who likely has a limited relationship with these hospitals you’re trying to see a specialist at. You need to call the PCPs office and ask them if they can move things along. If there is a concern for a tumor they should be able to get in touch with the specialist’s office and get you in earlier.
