Getting a breast reduction refferral?

Question

I've just enquired at my doctors, about getting my 38H bust reduced.
The answer was a resounding NO!
He said i hadn't mentioned them in all the years of being seen in the system, never complained of backache and my 'personality' was too unstable.
I started crying because i really want it done, and i was told no matter how much i cried, i wasn't going to manipulate him.
I wasn't crying to manipulate the tosser.

Has anyone any ideas how i can get a reduction on the NHS with bypassing this doctor who has all the caring mannerisms of Hitler??

Answer 1

I think you need to see another doctor

Answer 2

generally it is very difficult to get any cosmetic surgery on the nhs unless it's life threatening. i had a friend who's breasts were so large and heavy she could not do her job and had to get a desk job, she had permanent back ache, stooped, basically ruined her life, she was only 23. I saw her the other day and she'd had them done, it only took her 10yrs of agony . She could have had them done straight away, only if you have the money to go private. unfortunately the way the nhs is at the moment it is not considered an urgent operation. Your only choice may be to go private.

Answer 3

Sorry you can't bypass your GP with regard to a referral. I have only heard your side of the consultation, however it is generally now quite difficult to get breast reduction, or augmentation carried out on the NHS in many areas.

Answer 4

Find another doctor who will refer you. What an a$$hole.

Good luck with dealing with the NHS.

Answer 5
