All I've ever been tested for is total and free T. At the time back in 2008 I wasn't on any medication.

You should have changed doctors then. Thats very incomplete bloodwork, any half decent doc would have tested lh and fsh at least. With that low value he should have followed more bloodwork prolactin to rule out pituitary tumors, and full thyroid panel to rule out thyroid. Also ultrascans would have followed.
Pretty standand practice by any endo or urolugist.
So your heart problems were after this bw?
Why your doctor needs to okay the labs, you can go to a lab and test whatever labs you want. Is it because of insurance? (im not in US so dont really understand your system)
You need an urologist/andrologist. A family doctor will not be of much help.
Like I said before if you had low T labs with low T symptoms, you should have done a number of test to rule diseases that cause low T. And then given treatment (gel or T shots) if it was diagnostic as idiopathic low T.
You should not be "desperate" for TRT, but you should be looking to get a proper diagnostic and improve your symptoms. What are the symptoms you suffer?
