I have condition A, which makes it more likely for me to get condition B. Condition B can be monitored by an over the counter device, so I got one to see what kind of numbers I was getting. The numbers seemed to put me in either condition B, or precondition B for some of them.
I went to the dr and asked to be tested for condition B, and he did one simple test (there are many tests used for this), and those appeared to be normal at the time; and when I asked some questions about the numbers I was getting, he really didn't seem to know much about the condition.
I would like to try to get a 2nd opinion, preferably from a specialist, but can not get a referral to the specialist, and when I did need a speacilst for a completely unrelated condition, they set it up so I saw a specialist in their large practice.
How do I go about asking for a referral, and to one outside of their large mufti-location practice?
I kept it vague as to the conditions, as to not look like I'm asking for medical advice, but will willing post what they are, and why I think I might have it if anyone wants to know.
