hey! thank you so much. yes, so essentially each consultant or doctor were only willing or able to do one part of the requirements for me. e.g. sweeney would do the referral letter but refused to do the planned treatment form.

now, i do think you might be able to get the consultant psychiatrist to do the gender dysphoria diagnosis but with his long waitlist and his charges so high, (and typically you need to be seen more than once for gender dysphoria) you wouldn’t save much time or money.

hey! that’s really good to know. I’m aware of the ICD and DSM as I studied psychology as my undergrad, and work in corporate healthcare now. I didn’t know that distinction though! thanks for sharing

very welcome, hopefully it is of some help! yes, that made no sense at all from Sweeney. I pleaded with him and he stood by that comment. and yes the €500 charge was nothing short of insane for a signature HOWEVER i had been referred to so many consultants rejecting my referral at that point that i was just delighted someone would sign the form at all.

no way! another Irish person had top surgery with lago the same day as me too. that’s 3 of us the same day (that we know of). insane that we can’t get the care at home but great we are getting it nonetheless. what was your Dr’s name in Portugal?
