I've been refused NHS medical treatment twice, on each occasion I was told I wasn't old enough (in my 40's) to have the procedures I'd enquired about, which seems ridiculous to me.
On another occasion I was refused NHS dental treatment because the crowns I enquired about were considered purely cosmetic and so not necessary for my dental health. Fair enough, I think, on that occasion.
Generally speaking I don't believe everything a Doctor tells me, they do make mistakes. They seem to only want to give out drugs anyway and I usually have to explain that I don't want pills but was asking for useful, constructive advice. That's after I've had to fill them in on the pertinent parts of my medical history that they haven't bothered their ass to read before I arrived.
