hi.

i received your message in response to my previous fax, and i've tried to reach your office a few times by phone with no answer. i call out using google voice and it seems to have specific routing issues that i don't understand - sometimes it works great, sometimes it just rings. this is why i prefer communication over email: death.to.koalas@gmail.com

i think dr e may be the doctor i saw in 2017. i don't fully recall. if so, he said he'd only do this for prostate cancer patients. perhaps he may reconsider - as i'm going to eventually end up there with prostate cancer if i don't get these things taken out, anyways.

i understand that dr. e would require a referral before he can schedule an appointment. but, what i'm trying to determine is what the value of asking to see dr. e is. would dr. e consider a voluntary orchidectomy for a trans person, if they have a referral and funding? or would he reject the premise offhand? see, i'm trying to avoid having to go to toronto. if i can do it here, it'll take twenty minutes and i can take a cab home. i don't see any good reason why i should be forced to go out of town for this.

the thing is that if dr ============= gives you the referral, and i eventually see dr e six months from now, and he refuses for some ideological reason, then i've just wasted six months of my life.

i cannot ask dr =========== to send out 50 referrals and hope one comes back.

so, i am doing the research upfront. 

would dr. e consider this? if so, i'd like to see him and will inform dr. =============. if he won't, i won't waste my time or yours - i'll look elsewhere. but, please understand the paucity of my options.

you can leave me a message at the number you called before, or open a discussion over email. but, what i'm trying to figure out is if this is a valid path, or if i need to call somebody else.
