Any one live with an aneurysm for a long time without much growth?

I spoke with my PCP and mentioned my aneurysm concerns because it’s torn but presently not bleeding and he referred me to the same cardiovascular surgeon that blew me off the last time so I’m kind of stuck between a potential rock and a hard place.

My insurance requires an authorized referral from my PCP and all he’s done is keep recommending the doctor that blew me off then saying “I’ll see you next year “. Now what?

You have the right to a second opinion
You can tell them you want a second opinion because you feel like this Doctor is not listening to your concerns about your condition
You can also tell the doctor that you don’t agree with him and he will be held responsible for any circumstances that might arise with your health do to his treatment plan for your condition and that you feel he is not answering your questions about your medical condition or your consents and that you would like a second opinion and maybe he will send you to another doctor
