Re: Dr. Bussey (in Dallas) @ Dr. Bressler's office

Holly,

I'm wondering if the lab orders did have a ft3 order. It is not called Free t3 it is called Triiodothyronine, Free, Serum. I thought the same thing, that it was not ordered on my labs, I asked the tech, if that trii... was the free t3 and he said it was.

Wonder why he’d order Free T4 but not Free T3???

She had her labs done through Quest which is who we use in the

office I work in. While docs can have custom lab slips done, ours

does not list Free T3 and in the reference book it is listed as " T3,

Free " . But when she gets copies she can look for both names.

I would say he is in his late 40's early 50's.

This guy was really young, and from what I

gather, Dr. Bressler is a much older gentleman. Isnt that right,

Karrel?

On the Quest form I had, there was the

regular pre-printed stuff. On the bottom portion of the form was some

stuff that had been added in what looked like a dot-matrix style printer.

This is where 2 or 3 of the tests he ordered were marked. I know there was a

T3, Free there, because the T3, Total was right below it. The ?? Thyroid

Peroxide (now I am forgetting what it was called) was on there in this dot

matrix printed section. I remember the ladies at the Quest office explaining

it to me, since they missed the written in test at the very bottom (third

section) of the form (the ACHT – or whatever that was). There’s

a lady at that Plano Quest that draws blood on my special needs son that kind

of knows what I have been going through my health. She was explaining

that different offices can have different forms printed for them.

Trying to catch up on all my mail…

bit by bit…
