Reverse T3 - Norway

I am very fortunate to have a doctor who does everything I ask her for. I live in Norway, and being an even more backward health care system than the UK, you can imagine the reaction when I asked for RT3. Two nurses were googling and calling hospitals to find who they could send the blood sample to. They finally found the one hospital in Norway who performs this test. So, if there are any Norwegians out there trying to get this test, I just wanted to let you know that it is possible to have it done here.

Elisabetho, we would not get that test in UK, so maybe Norway does not have such a backward health service. Just different. NHS are just awkward and mean most of the time.
