Forget about ever getting a referral. You will be denied without a substantive reason. They get very defensive if you ask for the legal basis for denial of care.
I was told - without any tests whatsoever and no diagnosis - that "nothing" could be done for me. Well how could you know this if you haven't done any tests or provided a diagnosis?
I have a life threatening medical condition and the GP sarcastically asked me if I thought I was going to die.
I ended up going elsewhere and received a diagnosis and treatment plan and total resolution of symptoms.
