Are there any clinics in BC that let you get some blood work done without a doctor's orders? I don't have one and would rather not have to justify why I want to get it done. I'd be willing to pay out of pocket of course.

Naturopathic will do it, for a fee. Or just go to a walk in clinic. But I dont understand how you dont have a doctor....

Really? I knew there was a shortage, but I thought that was like in hospitals and stuff. Didnt know there was a shortage of family doctors... huh

So I emailed a naturopath and it costs close to $500 just for Cortisol, DHEAS, Estradiol and Testosterone which is pretty ridiculous. Can I just waltz into a walk in clinic with a grocery list of what I want tested or will I have to bs my way at it?

There's also zrtlab, a place in the states that will do it through the mail for less than the naturopath. Anyone have any experience with them?
