    Therapeutic Phlebotomy Please Help

    I appreciate your opinion. I’m going to look into it further. But Defy medical gave me my options and it was NY blood center OR pay thousands of dollars for a private doctor to do it. Unfortunately NY is much different that most states and incredibly difficult when it comes to this kind of...

    Yea I never even discussed TRT or said I was on it, Defy just sent them a form so I could donate more frequently. The woman must have looked up Defy medical and assumed I was on TRT. QUOTE="Vince Carter, post: 129036, member: 2657"]Let this be a lesson...never discuss your business with the...
