Enough is enough - My mom is constantly asking "why can't you be an angel",
Heck, I don't want wings, I want big lips and C-Cups

Enough is enough when …..after four years of independent research in which I was the one who figured out that what was causing rampant health problems in my extended and nuclear family was a rare genetic disorder (thank you Google) and after two of those years spent trying to get into the right geneticist and after finally jumping through all the hoops to get the doctors to run the exact tests I asked for in the first place…the GP doctor doesn’t want to run the MRI to look for intracranial calcifications in my daughters because even if they have them there isn’t anything that can be done about it so he won’t do that test, which the geneticist ordered. And since he doesn’t know how to order the GNAS screen test (the big test that will allow my children to apply to the one and only clinical study that might improve their lives) he won’t do that one either. He will however be perfectly happy to run the SAME tests we have already done that are by definition incapable of providing any insight into their condition. Said tests not being available in his office but thanks for dropping by, please leave the co-pays at the front desk.

So now I’m interviewing doctors.

Izbnso....I'd do the same. You seem to have a lazy doctor - good for splints and band aids and not much else.

Much luck with your new one, and with getting some solutions.

Edit: Can your geneticist recommend somebody? THey may know of someone who is more open to getting the tests you want done. And have you told your geneticist about your current doctor's attitude? It may help, but yeah, look elsewhere. Get the family records transferred once you are comfortable with the new doctor's attitude so the history is at their fingertips.
