I gave Radboud some documents from burojij, one of which included the detail that I'm being referred to gender clinic as well. My contact at Radboud responded by saying they don't support double referrals like that. God damn it, I was just doing what burojij told me to do. Now I feel like I need to commit to either Radboud or gender clinic immediately when I know almost nothing about gender clinic other than they'll hopefully be faster, because this system makes it impossible to talk to anyone without going through so much red tape. My frustration levels with the Dutch healthcare system have been growing a lot.

There's been a couple developments since my last update. I was honest with Radboud and told them that I'm not currently on gender clinic's waitlist but am interested in learning more about it and potentially getting on it, and promised to tell Radboud immediately if this happens. This seems to have been sufficient, they haven't brought it up since. In other news I had my second appointment for hair removal scheduled on December 30th. On the day of the appointment the hair removal practice called me, telling me that they're cancelling my appointment because they don't feel that they can give me fast and good results due to their inexperience working on this part of the body and they recommended I look for care elsewhere. I told this to my contact at Radboud, who was surprised by this as Radboud has a contract with MediDerm for this care. Apparently MediDerm also should have never billed me for the first treatment, and sent the invoice to Radboud. Oh, and ASR (my health insurer) told me they won't be covering this, but afaict that's fine because Radboud will be paying, not ASR. I've emailed my contact at MediDerm these details and am waiting for a response. This whole thing is quite the mess. MediDerm did suggest to me that I look at 2pass clinic in Antwerp for hair removal for this, and they can definitely do it, but I'd be paying myself. I'm tempted to make an appointment there anyway just so I can get started until the MediDerm mess gets sorted.
