The medical referral system is 100% a cartel collaboration between practitioners.
My partner has a 2-year post surgery appointment with the surgeon who did her lumpectomy but they won’t let her show up unless she goes to her GP first. She has an established relationship with that surgeon. It’s absolutely unwarranted.
In the same vein, why the heck can’t practices send test orders and such to each other by email? Requiring a physical printed order for tests is absolute nonsense when the information will end up in a practice management system.
