Feedback from GP re: my daughter - help please

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

Oh dear - my daughter had her bloods taken this morning. I received a very

frosty welcome from the GP - he immediately talked about her having bloods taken

at the hospital a few years sgo - as though they would have picked something up

then! I asked what he would be testing for he said the labs would test TSH

levels - nothing else unless these were adnormal - he refused to listen to me

whan I asked if we could do them now - his statement was why would we need to

test free T4 and free T3 if TSH levels were normal - it is thyroid stimulating

hormone therefore if there is enough everything else would be fine as it would

all be converted! He also refused to do most of the other tests that were

suggested, however, I think that he is doing ferritin - difficult to tell as he

was very offhand.

Clearly I am not going to get very far here - has anyone any suggestions?

Thankyou.
