I'm with the prevailing opinion on the nature of the questions, except perhaps the nature of your separation from your husband. As stated previously there are many ethnic or racially trended diseases and the more information that your doctor has, the better. He is, after all, your doctor.
But I have heard that some doctors are complaining about the recent spate of self diagnosis, which they refer to as Google-itis. To the point where they install computers in their offices and ask the patient where on the Web they got their information about their apparant illness.
This may be the reason why he is hesitant about referrals. While there most likely is a cost (hidden in the insurance) the primary motivation must be around that he needs to build a competent medical profile for you before hastening to a referral.
That being said, don't be a pushover: ask questions. Expect intelligent answers and remember your doctor is servicing you, and is retained by you. Not the other way around.
