Good stuff! I should probably make the long journey myself and save myself the trouble of dealing with physicians that are incompetent at administering proper TRT for the rest of my life. I seem to be one of the few that needs roughly 200mg of testosterone cypionate/week in order to maintain serum testosterone and free testosterone in the upper half of the range. As of right now, I have a prescription that says '1 cc q week', but every time I visit the physician, he attempts to convince me to dose it q 2 weeks. Despite that fact that I gave me 'TRT: A Recipe for Success' and despite the fact that he says it was a very good paper, he seems to remember NOTHING from it. But, I put up with the trouble because my labwork is only covered if it is billed by the physician.
With as much business as SWALE sends to the local lab, he should consider negotiating a resonable rate for his patients. The list prices for these labs are unresonably high; the insurance companies pay 80-90% less. I feel that the labs do it this way so that they can get a very good tax write-off for the customers that don't pay. That's bad gov't policy and unethical behavior on the part of the labs in my book.
