but, i can't do the other fecal test until i go off iron, and i'm not going to go off iron for another 2-3 months, potentially - meaning i won't have an answer for the fecal test for another 3-4 months.
yet, the purpose of denying me access to the test is supposed to be to prevent delays in diagnosis. but, that's exactly what they're going to get - a huge delay. because the colonoscopy is simply irrational, without some evidence that it's actually required, of which there currently isn't any.
why are medical professionals so fucking irrational? like, this is consistent, it's endemic. they may have large knowledge bases, but they can't solve simple fucking problems. they're all fucking idiots.
