I'm Currently Feeling:  | Been To Doctors
What a bunch of idiots!
I'm really unsure what to do ...
Explained I would like a referral to an infertility clinic CARE to be specific - GP: "Errrr" 
They can't do that - Should they not have a list of infertility clinics? Private? Anyway she then mentioned my consultant - I don't think so why do you think I want to go private? Apparantly he is 'private' also Well OMG I wouldn't pay to be told 'not much more we can do'! Anyway seems there is another private consultant 'Mr Mennon' I've to ring tomorrow for an appointment & she will do my referral I have to pick it up just after Christmas! This all sounds too dodgy for my liking & the same hospital 
We'll just have to see - Problem is we are not going to be here in Stoke-On-Trent next year & I wanted to go with CARE not return to Stoke-On-Trent Surely I'd be able to move my files & private care over if I move  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | That does sound really dodgy, im not sure what id to if i were in your shoes.
Im not sure i would chance going to that hospital again, esp out of your own pocket.
Do you have to have a referral to go private? |

I'm Currently Feeling: | That's rubbish. If you can self-refer that'll be a lot better. I'd ring CARE and see what they say. |

Sorry Wibble I am v. confused.
What is CARE? Where is CARE?
Who is Mr Mennon?
Can your GP not simply give you a letter to give to your private healthcare provider? Even if you have to pay for it? |
