Wow... I can't imagine being talked to that way by my doctor. I had to call the psychologist for weeks to get him to send his report after my evaluation. It just wasn't a priority for him, but I was trying to schedule my life.

If you were respectful to them, they should have been respectful to you.

My surgeon pointed out that some doctors don't think that this surgery is necessary in any situation. He said they run into it every once in a while.

Regardless of whether he sends the referral, I think I would seek a new PCP. You are paying for his care... not his lack of caring.
