So i called my family doctor the other day and asked to get a form to have bloodwork done, mainly to check my estrogen level and see if it was skyrocketed up and to see if I was going to be at risk for gyno. They don't call me back for a week and when they do, they say "There is no reason for you to have bloodwork done. Of course your testosterone level is up, your on finasteride. Go see a dermatoligist."
what the heck? I didn't even want to get my testosterone checked.
These people have usually been pretty good about stuff like this but I'd think that when a patient is mildly worried about something and all that is required is a bloodtest, they wouldn't just dismiss is like I was stupid. What's worse, my mom is saying that I have to go to the derm now otherwise they might not refill my prescription if it doesn't look like I am complying with them.
I swear, I know more about this crap than they do.
Well, I certainly did feel that testosterone when they declined my bloodwork application. I'm a wirey mild-mannered soft-spoken 150 lb weakling and when I found out they declined it, I yelled, I cursed, and I punched walls.
These people piss me off. Another 70 bucks for the derm to say, "Yup, you have male pattern baldness." Thanks Doctor, now how about you refer me back to my original doctor so I can have my tits checked out.
