it's CYA. they ALL do referrals for each other, and everyone is a specialist. if your left foot hurts, you better see a left foot specialist! 
when i had a heart attack on the job i had to go to every damn doctor in the Mayo clinic, i spent entire days there for tests that were ridiculous. but i had to do it because it was workers comp. i hope i never see the Mayo clinic again, i was fine until i had to have every damn test known to medical science!
but i will say they were very professional and nice people. all of them. i just hated to go and i was an awful patient, even in the Cardiac ICU.
i used to take my rolling IV stand and sneak outside for cigarettes, the nurses were shocked and appalled. heh heh
my cardiologist loved me though, i made him laugh. and often threatened him with imminent arrest.
