Kim it is not that easy for us in the uk.The national health service decrees which hospital you go to and which doctor you see,and the only way you can deviate from that is to go privately and pay for the consult and tests out of your own pocket,unless you have chosen to take out private health insurance.Even so,unlike in the USA we cant ring up doctors and CCC's and just ask to be seen.
