Hi all, new member here. I live in Canada and would like to be able to get blood work done. Is it possible to do this in Canada without a prescription? If so, how?
Thank you!
Dave
New York's policy makers: ["New York's prohibition of “direct access testing” rests upon the premise that NY's licensed medical practitioners are uniquely qualified to ( darken screens, co-conspire to promote hidden agendas, protect monopolies, deny informed choice )"].If you are close to the border, you can come to the US (except NY, VT, MA, RI) and use DiscountedLabs.com
Thanks for the replies guys, I live in the Calgary area.
If the private labs are not available (or not reasonably priced) would it be ok to try to get work done through a naturopath? Are they allowed to write prescriptions?
I don't have a reliable doctor to work with me on this at the moment.
