Tell me about it. I used to have a really good general practitioner. Went to him for everything from booster shots to minor surgery. He retired like 5 years ago, and the kid who took over for him sends me to a specialist for everything. The insurance company makes you wait for a referral, the specialist sends you to the 'procedure wing' of the hospital for all sorts of tests, which you also have to get a referral on. Once the tests come back, they give you drugs and send you on to physical therapy, yadda yadda.
