It took years to surround myself with doctors who care. We simply don't have that kind of time with specialists. My gp's philosophy is if you don't know what's wrong, try harder. Whenever I ask for a referral, I make sure he understands I want someone just like him - but...
Sorry you're encountering what most of us have already experienced. Just curious - what did he say when you informed him pt hasn't worked for 3 months? Maybe he thinks you should try harder
