i'm not going to consent to any sort of treatment unless i research it first. i've seen how these doctors work - they just google everything. i can do that myself, and i trust my own judgement better than theirs.

what i''m going to do if i show up at the doctor's office without getting the chance to review the results myself is ask the doctor to print the results off, rebook and come back once i have.

i'm more frustrated by the stupidity of the system than angry at the lack of access, but i can get very annoying if they're going to force me to be.

let's try to understand what i have directly in front of me, first. my next follow-up isn't until the 21st so i have time to figure it out. or, at least i think i do...so long as i don't run out of iron...
