I have breathing problems and recently visited the Pulmonary Department at a Government Hospital. The doctor prescribed some diagnostic tests, but these tests are not available in the government hospital, so I have to get them done outside.which I Can't afford to pay from my pocket.
I approached a charitable trust for help, and they agreed but asked for an expenditure letter from the treating Pulmonary doctor. When I went back to the doctor for the letter, he said that expenditure letters are only given to admitted patients and refused to provide one.
Now, the charitable trust says they can’t help without the expenditure letter, and I’m stuck in between.
What should I do now? Is there any way to get help from the charitable trust for my diagnostic tests? Or is the doctor lying ? Any advice would be appreciated.

It could be allergic airway disease
What ever available in govt hospital go with that tests and start treatment
Or go to some higher govt hospital if the doctor suspects some thing and tests are necessary
Most of the tests are available. You can visit a tertiary govt centre for higher tests. Or you can visit teaching hospitals as they usually provide tests for much much cheaper prices.
