I turned 50 this month and after asking him to "please schedule me for a colonoscopy", my Primary Care Preventer is working hard to talk me out of it and into alternatives. Ones that I assume are cheaper for the Org and he gets to prolong the process by saying it's a loooooong time to schedule (which is why I reached out, duh?)

I intensely dislike American Healthcare. Every little damn thing is a fight.

Primary care preventer?

Change doctors. If they don't listen and work with you tell them that. If you have valid reasons for requesting care and they try to convince you otherwise that isn't a good doctor.
