The primary gatekeepers are primary physicians. They decide which patients will have access to expensive tests, treatment and specialist referrals. Although some may say that each individual is the gatekeeper to their own health because if you don't like the response you are getting from your primary physician, you can change physicians, go to a clinic, call telehealth for advice, call your physician's governing body (College of Surgeons and Physicians), etc. If you know there is something wrong with your body and you are not getting results, you are your own best advocate!
