Hi Lloyd:

I haven't talked to you for a while. Things have been so hectic lately.

I went to the doctors Monday. It's been almost 4 months since I had my viral load checked. I asked him If I could have the test and he said when you go on the interferon I'll do the test. I said why can't I get it now. He said it cost alot of money. I said its my insurance paying for it. He said its his money, the insurance and my money. He said he could order the test but I have to pay out of my pocket which would be 3 or $400.

Do you believe that? The nerve of him.

I said what if i come back in August and he said when I get on the interferon he will order the test. I'm not going through interferon again.

What should I do with this problem? The last time I got somebody else to do the blood work they knew him. I don't know if I should go to that same person for the blood work or somebody different. Is there something on the market where I can do this myself. These doctors are really making me sick.

Please help,
Melanie

Hi Melanie:

Doctors are a dime a dozen. If what you describe happened to me, that man / women would never be seen by me again!

I hear this problem all to often.

What happened to the hypocritical oath these people took?

They are here to perform for you, your health, not a insurance company, not for his or their money.

Open the yellow pages, call doctors and find one willing to serve you!
It is your life! Your health!

In some states chiropractors are now writing blood test prescriptions.
Check and see if yours is one of them. Chiropractors are interested in your health, not an interferon pay off.

What state are you in? I will send you a list.

To your health
Lloyd
