Jackie:
I went yesterday to get a test for my thyroid, my old doc has retired and I got this new guy, He wrote the script for the test and it was only for TSH, I told the girl that I wanted the Free T4, T3 also, she went to the doctor and he refused he said all he needed was TSH, I have never had any doctor do this. I gave the girl back the script and said No, she wrote something on the script to give to the doctor about my reply.
I need this test because I have been getting more AF and some fast heartbeats which could be because of my thyroid, I have another appt. with another doctor that does all of these tests but I can't get in to see her until the end of the month. Some of these doctors are so full of themselves, he is new and young. I could get Dr. B. to order the test next week but I don't have a local doctor and I wanted to get established with one.
