Several times once I have seen a specialist, I have been told "We should have seen you sooner"
But often the GP says "It's just one of those things" & "you need to put up with it, lots of people get them/have that"
So how do you know when a problem you have needs seeing by a specialist and when it's something a GP can deal with.
Is it your responsibility as a patient or does the GP make the decision?
