Why is it necessary to follow up with an endocrinologist every 3 months? can't they just review my labs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
How Doctors get paid: They do not get paid to 'review' your labs. The only way they get paid to do work for you is to see you. That is how the American Medical system is designed by the Insurance industry.

Hi! I got lab work from my doctor. Both the T4 Total (7.0) and Free T4 (1.5) I think are normal. TSH is 0.47 and T3 is 73, which I think are both low--should I see an endocrinologist with these results? Do I need CT or MRI to check anything further?
