Dr. Refuses To Give Testosterone Levels!!!

[calstate23]

What's up everybody.
So I had a Doctor Appointment at the Veteran Affairs clinic today to get bloodwork done.
This is the standard CBC panel, and is only for a routine checkup.
6 months ago, I had this BW done, and everything was within normal ranges - which is great.

In the office today, I requested that I get my free testosterone levels & estrogen levels checked as well.
The nurse informs me that after speaking to my doctor, they are not going to do that specific test, because I am only 26 years old - and there is "no need" at my age.

I have a follow-up appointment in 2 weeks where I'll actually be able to speak with the doctor directly. What is the best approach to take in getting him to understand why I would like such a test done?? The way I see it, knowledge is power, and my body is my temple. IMO, I deserve to be very well informed about my body & what is going on with it, regardless of age.

Yes, I understand this is free healthcare & beggars can't be choosers. lol
I could pay to have an outside lab do my BW if it comes down to it - but obviously, I would rather it be covered by the VA.

Thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions?

Well, even though it's free, you freakin served our country so why should you be limited?

Just tell him the truth that you ran steroids when you were younger and you truly believe your test levels are f*cked up and your getting the typical signs...

If you don't want to tell him just tell him you are getting signs of low testosterone...Limp d*ck, low energy etc etc....The fact is he doesn't know you ran steroids and there are other health issues that can cause low t which you think he would want to address/look into.....

Yeah, I'll be speaking with the doctor in about a week and a half. I think he just assumed that I'm a healthy 26 y.o, who doesn't need test levels checked because I'm young, and they should be in the norm.

It'll be interesting to see how I approach this appointment, and what the doctor has to say about it.
I can totally see both sides. Sure, I served our country, and some free BW would be nice - then again, this was my own doing, and I was the retard in college that decided to do a cycle without proper research, and PCT.

HOWEVER - I am a beast in the sack with the ladies, and have been for the past 6 years - So I honestly belive my test levels are fine. These symptoms of limp dick stream from me being on such a long ass caloric deficit I'm sure. I'm not seriously considering a cycle until towards the end of summer - but I am very interested to see where my levels are. More than likely I'll pay for it myself eventually. Whatever.
