Me: "Can I get a referral to a therapist?"

GP: "Uh huh... so, I'm going to need you to take a drug test."

    The medical system has us so whipped.

    I just reached out to a therapist office. Referrals? Insane if you actually needed to do that.

    Every medical treatment has to go through my GP, or else my insurance won't pay for it. If I had the money, I could just pay a therapist on my own, and then pay out of pocket for any meds the prescribe.
