His point was valid in as much as you've shifted the goalposts because you were losing the argument. Your new question might be valid if asked in isolation from the discussion which was at hand.

After that we can discuss your newer query.

We have a local physician who makes scheduled house calls every Thursday. His office is used by a visiting podiatrist that day.

That doesn't seem to happen much in the US. I don't need a referral to see a specialist.
