I trust my surgeon (I think she's awesome) but I like having my own team looking after me, and I want to be able to go into a room and not worry about what I will say or what the family member has said or will say. I am disappointed that the family member did not check with me to see if I was comfortable with her asking her GP to be referred to 'my' BS. I know it sounds silly and perhaps selfish but if it was the other way round, I would have asked not to have the same specialists.
