Before followup she wants me to have a physical exam, neurological exam, EKG and a whole slew of other stuff I don't understand:
"CBC id  p(?), CMP, TSH, T3 Typmee(?), RPR, HRV, Fasting, lypid panel, HgA1C"
Is it common for a psychiatrist to require that many tests? I think it's great that she's so concerned but I'm concerned something's wrong. |
It’s a high quality of care, mine wanted an mri and bloodwork....I got a neuro exam and eeg like five years later, they also do thyroid etc because there are physical things that can cause hallucinations .........honestly this is the best possible outcome from an initial consult
