Thanks. You might be right about the tests. Worst of all she joined a practice (corporation?) about 8 years ago. They may be strangling the doctors.

I've reviewed KM's work--have his new book (a tome). I need the tests to even take to a functional doctor. [KM lists thousands of dollars worth of tests in his book, by my estimate. The blood work, that I had for my annual charged my HC around $700.]

I'm working to find an endo that will see me before August. My PCP is not taking patients anymore. I am figuring that she is winding down her practice and is creating a pretext to dump me.

What I resent most of all is the condescension. My life has been about research (Ph.D). It is not in medicine, but I'm not an idiot.] Clinical education/practice/experience understandably triumphs research papers, etc. I don't know why she will not take seriously a L in the high -4s. She has one more opportunity to adjust her thinking to a non-PMOP! [Not that her behavior should be appropriate for a female with the same numbers either!]
