I asked her to order a lab for blood work. She refused as she has not seen me for two years. However, I would have perhaps needed her advice and consultation on said blood work, but I don't want to pay for two office visits for this. One just to see her to get the blood work, and one after to discuss with her. I was later advised by other doctors I can do this without a Dr's order in Oregon. She did not give me this advise. I feel she's not working for my health but just seeks $ Doctors visits are expensive these days, and this seemed like a waste of money. She was my PCP and she told me over the email I would have to come in. She did not communicate in any manner that she cared even why I was interested in the blood work.
