Can't get blood work done

[pureblood]

I'm in a state(Jersey) where I can't legally get blood work done via private lab, and my Dr. won't do anything but the normal, standard type blood work. Any thoughts/ideas? I can drive about an hour away to a state where it's legal, but I'm still an N.J. resident and will have to show photo I.D.
The next endo appt available is in Feb, and God knows thats a long drawn out process, where he's not prescribing anything on the first appt.

Try another GP in the meantime. Just because one doctor is unhelpful doesn't mean they all are. I went through about 8 or 9 doctors before I finally found one that was willing to help me. Bloods are so important it's not funny. Always found it infuriating when they won't even let you check your OWN blood levels...

I've never had to show an ID for bloodwork at a Labcorp location via privatemdlabs. They just need a copy of your requisition.

I was in this situation as well...
Keep looking

Yeah I actually can't get a requisition or even purchase the test on line because my credit card has a Jersey addy. I'm gonna keep looking for a GP that might do it.

Have someone else buy the blood work for you.

I've read that some guys just use a prepaid card for their purchases. No personal experience with that, but I don't see how it would be a problem.

Definitely a slight hassle, but better than going without bloodwork.
