Doctors and Physical Tests
This morning I went with my mother to get my tests done for my psychiatrist. I'm a bit irritated because I didn't have the cholesterol test (the one I couldn't get done yesterday because I needed to fast and nobody told me this). I had a cholesterol test too recently so medicare wouldn't pay for it. My cholesterol test turned out normal last time. I was getting the test this time because I'm on Zyprexa. I will just have my papers sent from my endocrinologist (who did the cholesterol test) to my psychiatrist, if he wants to see them.
There was a long wait even though no one was there. There must have been a problem in back. No one was coming out, but the woman called after me for her blood test came out before me, because I also needed an EKG. My blood was drawn easily and quickly (it can be hard to find my veins). I had a good phlebotomist. Then immediately afterward I had the EKG, which was fine. I hope the tests aren't too expensive.
Also I talked to my psychiatrist on the phone last night and he called in my appetite suppressant prescription. I have other prescriptions to call in, myself, so I will do that today and pick up prescriptions tomorrow. So, several problems solved.
