"Take this referral and make a follow-up appointment."
Honest - I hope y'all are never in this position. But if a medical professional at a small medical center ever gives you a referral to the big hospital, and provides a sealed envelope to hand them, you should absolutely open that envelope and read the contents.
Not sure why you're saying that but my first thought was that Seinfeld episode where Elaine's medical history follows her all over town with a note about her being a difficult patient.
Not far off. In this case it was the nurse(?) recommending my partner be locked away for a week. Which could be fine as an opinion, but not something they were qualified to do.
Because we did not provide that information, the hospital did their own evaluation. To be fair, they came to a similar conclusion, but also much less severe.
Why should you look in that envelope? What could they possibly put in that envelope? If it's a serious diagnosis or poor prognosis then they would tell you upfront about it. That's standard practice for all physicians.

Xanax. I told a nurse I had anxiety once and she came back with a xanax. I was like "WHOA WTF! I said I have anxiety!" Fucking trying to solve a problem with a nuclear warhead.
I had a coworker who came in with a headache. Our receiving dock manager overheard and gave her what my coworker thought was a couple aspirin. Turns out the manager gave her a pair of Vicodin tabs without telling her. Needless to say, she wasn't doing anything for most of her shift and the receiving manager was kindly told to GTFO.
I take Xanax but only for very specific things with a limit time period. Notably for visits to the dentist. Turns out dentists don't like it when you cry uncontrollably and getting therapy takes too long when you need a root canal. So two Xanax for the visit and for no other time for me.
Taking for it's needed effects is perfectly okay. But like basic ass anxiety? That's pretty hardcore. I mean like run of the mill anxiety.
It's certainly not good for a day to day, it wears off after like an hour or two. Weird to be given it for that.
I'll never touch bennies. No matter who is pushing them.
I have a mild food allergy, and doctor wrote me a prescription for an EpiPen which, after seeing the cost, I did not fill.
If a yes or no question has an answer that will require them to break confidentiality, I will not answer the question no matter what my response would have been.

Lucky. In my country that's on the restricted foods list. It's hard to find a doctor to prescribe it.
Dang.
