I couldn’t get the Vitamin D test from my doctor - she felt that people were going overboard on supplementing based on the results. It wasn’t particularly expensive to do through the NP though.
Wow - even though it’s coming out of your pocket she wouldn’t sign a lab req for it?
I think it’s one of the tests to do when looking into parathyroid issues. (Along with calcium and PTH)
I think that was the first time I tested for vit d and it was a bit low at the time.
My Dr is not like most though - in that she doesn’t hesitate to do lab work, imaging, and referrals to specialists.
She’s scaled back to part time - and I’m hoping she doesn’t retire soon.
She started a side business with cosmetics/skin care so is finding it to be too much.
