    Question Getting blood work done in Canada

    I am starting pct soon and after I am finished I want to get bloodwork done, how can i go about this, preferrably would like info from Canadians who have experience as it may differ than in the States. My concern is that everyone knows me in my City, I own a large Martial Arts Academy and my doc knows my family and people in my MA school, so i Really don't want them to know that Iam using AAS. Is there a private clinic I can go to or something?

    Thought of that, just wondering how to do it, do you need a referral from your family doc to get blood work done or can you just go to a clinic or outpatience??

    no refural needed. why not call a couple doctors and just ask them. its not a crime to have blood work done. its smart to have it done.

    I just got mine done to check liver and kidney values, it feels great to know those two things are good. Get blood work done if you can, its a great piece of mind.

    just be straight up with them and tell them I finished a cycle and need blood work done??, they don't do the blood work at the office though right? The doc gives you a sheet of paper and then you take it to the lab I think, I just know how busy the docs are and thought they might tell me to go to my family doc

    thats right, its usualy done in a lab down the hall but u still need to call a doctor and tell him u want complete blood work done. yes, tell him you took steroids. trust me he has heard much worse and doesnt care about the fact that u took em.

    Thanks, my only concern is that most of the docs around here are over booked and are not taking new patients so they some won't see you unless you are their patient, maybe I will have to tell my family doc, besides there is doc/patient confidentiality right?

    I waltzed into a clinic here (Canada) told the doc i was concerned with my cholesterol since i eat alot of eggs and have a family history of heart problems and he refered me that day, no questions asked. Had the results in a few days, they give you everything when you get it checked here, sugar levels, liver values, ect...

    Hope that helps

    Walk in clinic is the best route as CheckerChest stated. Quick results as well!
