In New York state, it's illegal to get any kind of medical testing without a doctor's order. Very frustrating.



This has been one of the things slowing me down.

Some tests took over a year for me to get run.

Some I still haven’t.

Other more exotic tests were super easy to get.


Wow, does this apply to Covid tests?


There was an executive order by the governor to allow more flexibility for Covid tests. Pharmacists are now allowed to order Covid tests. And when you show up at a testing site at a clinic or hospital, your test will be recorded as "ordered" by a doctor or nurse practitioner that you never actually see in person.
