Refused treatment

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.

I find them helpful in their own way and I’m grateful to them for the times I do turn to them but they know next to nothing about good health and that’s more of what I’m interested in, not pathologising every little ache or pain or situation I have and making it into a fixed illness or condition and then giving me drugs or surgery.  But they’re ok for routine things like blood tests and I have a little obsession with getting my blood pressure taken, not for the numbers, but just because I like it so they’re good for that, you can usually get em to whip it out and do a little test on you  but you can also go to a chemist and get it done for free, whenever you want. It’s such a treat. I travel around the world getting my blood pressure taken. My friend wants to do a YouTube channel on me and my blood pressure obsession lol!
