Need opinion on blood work
Ihad my three month check up with surgeon. He didn't say anything about drawing blood to check for levels. I forgot to say anything to him. I don't have another ppt ith him until .july, do you think I should get an appt with my primary to have labs drawn? Mt surgeon is an hour and a half drive away. Thanks in advance for opinions.
I recommend having labs done before July. You don't necessarily need an appointment with the surgeon, you could just call him and ask him to fax you an order for labs. Or he could fax it to the lab you plan to use. Or you could have your PCP order them. You may need to take the PCP a list of what to order.
Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
