My doctor won't refer me to get my tonsils out? NHS?

 

Resolved Question

My doctor won't refer me to get my tonsils out? NHS?

She said it will be rejected by the ENT cause I need 5 cases of tonsillitis reported and anti biotic.

This is for NHS removal.

I'm not one to go to the doctor much, I just ride things out and take herbal remedy.
I get tonsillitis, strep throat constantly and always have tonsil stones.

I've waited ages to ask cause I have been scared of the pain but I'm ready to get them out and my doctor refused cause nothing is on file.

What can I do? How can I convince her?

Specially the tonsil stones really get me down.


Best Answer


Go to the doctor for the next 5 times you get sick, so it's documented. And then they will take them out.

You ask how you can convince your doctor to refer you for tonsil removal. The point is, she cannot. She has to follow the rules of NHS, and the rules are that 5 cases need to be documented first. She didn't set the rules, NHS did. And she has to abide by them, just as you do.

I know it sucks, but just play by their rules if you want your tonsils removed. Plus, if you go to her next time you are sick, she will prescribe antibiotics and you will be better so much faster than using herbal remedies, so it's really in your best interest.
