[QUOTE="Anonymon, post: 201441, member: 42608"] A good GP’s great, but they’re few and far between these days because you make more money once you specialize, and GP’s don’t get to decide most of what they do, insurance algorithms basically do. That’s lead to horrible quality GP’s in most cases. One of my friends got tested for his test twice. One time had the Total T at 125. The other time at 235 or so. Those are both below the normal range and the GP lady still said he’s fine. Another lady I met recently has felt like crap for years, so I told her to have the usual tests done to see where she’s at hormonally. She said she had some of those done over the past few years, and for 3 years straight she had less E2 than I do. It even says right on the test that if it’s that low you need to retest again and there’s probably an issue there, but nobody said anything for years. I got her to go to a specialist and it’s still lower than my own E2. She also has a bulge on her thyroid and I told her to get her free T3 and 4 and TSH checked and the bulge and what do you know, issues there too, and she has cysts everywhere. After a cancer check she’s probably getting on HRT. She went 3+ years of feeling like complete garbage and blood tests showing why and her GPs said she was fine despite not even being in the normal range. You could replace most GPs now with a post it note that says “You’re fine, but would you like some Xanax?“ and we’d get the same quality of care in the US in most places. I was surprised it happened to her too since girls usually get anything they want if they walk in with so much as a headache. [/QUOTE]
