Becs, good for you girl. Don't let her get you down. Some doctors just haven't got a clue and some just never bother boning up on the latest research, simply because there's so much of it... where do they start? What subject should they cover. Doctors should get retraining seminars. ... I'm sure these things exist but many don't bother. They're just civil servants pushing paper around and doing an average job. Remember the government pays them at the end of the day!
Those blood tests are yours and the surgery will have no alternative but to give them to you. If they refuse, you have grounds to complain to the GMC. How would they like that, I wonder?
Hang in there for the endo and see what happens. I feel your frustration - I had a real battle with my doc, and eventually switched to another doc in the practice who is treating me now - and had no reason not to. Last time I saw him he told me that I knew more than he did on the subject and is going with what I feel rather than the numbers.
If you find an article that you think your doctor should read, then print it out and present it to them if it will back up your case. Your doctor is simply an arrogant dunce who probably has control freakery issues. SHE is the doctor... blah blah blah.
They're just still regular people, and they put their underwear on the same as all of us. Don't put up with her attitude and find yourself a new doctor after your endo has seen you.
