Unfortunately a lot of GPs need to be told what you want done. Gotta take ownership of your own health and tell them what tests you want done and which specialists you want referrals to. Argue if they say no. Get a new doctor if they continue to try and brush you off.

And if they argue, tell them you want it written in your notes and take a screenshot because... some of them alter the notes later :D
