| Yeah i thought that was implied in the test and they would do both. The doc told me the test costs like $700. So I am pissed they did not do the free test part. |

I would go somewhere else to ask about it. |

That's waht he told me but I didn't belive him either - since I am self employed i push my deductable very high and most of my checkups and normal doctor stuff comes out of my pocket (but thats the way it should be). I just made the mistake of assuming that they wouyld give me the full battery of testos tests when I asked for it. My mistake now I know better. OD |

Judging from your lab results, you are fairly high into the normal range which is excellent. I would try some supplements that are designed to raise your free test....for example 6-oxo from ergopharm or like robert suggested, anabolic matrix which should not only unbind your test but should also raise your levels as well. I really dont think another expensive blood test is needed...not really going to provide you with too much useful information at this point. I would say try the suggested supplements. Lift heavy. Keep your cardio to a minimum to avoid overtraining (which lowers test levels) and make sure you eat alot of protein and healthy fats (which are also very anabolic)...you may also want to supplement with a good ZMA product before bed. Just some random thoughts....hope they help! |

Nope, thats not what I am saying.. infact, your healthcare system is shit. Thats why you dont have to pay what we do. |
| Johnnny, your just a moron. Have you ever actually tried using your brain? |

Awhile back I had an MRI that would've cost $500 in the US & I had it for free along with my follow up appointment. So I think the system is pretty damn good. Along with my Mother who has been in the health care system for the last 20yrs in the hospital full time with Lupus. She only has to pay $1,000/month for her room & care instead of the full cost of the room $3,000/month & additional charges. rock4832 I am a moron? I'm not the one who is going to have to pay $700 for a bloody testosterone test through blood work. Operations (as long as they're not cosmetic), overnight visits in the hospital, delivering babies, Flu & other vaccinations, X-Rays, psychologists, & medication are covered by our health care system. We don't have to pay for any of it. So I don't think that is "shit" at all. I have a cousin in Florida who had to pay $120 for a chest X-Ray as he had a chest infection. I had one done last year for $0. Pretty sweet if you ask me. |

I worked in the healthfield and one of my projects was comparing the quality of healthcare in Canada to the US. I could argue with you but 1) Your too stupid to learn anything new, and 2) Your not worth my time

As for me being stupid, I don't feel stupid for not having to pay for "ANY" of my medical attention & I don't even have insurance & I still don't have to pay. So I'm not complaining. All I can say is I have American relatives in different areas of the United States for the last 30yrs, & they prefer Canada's health system over their own American health care system. |
