If I think I need it I will. I go every six months get blood work am on very little medication Soooo what is going on that they are calling

We haven't received a call like that, but it would not be unusual for the insurance company to do so, especially as a reminder for colonoscopy, mammography or bone densitometry.
As far as you only getting the tests that YOU think are needed, I congratulate you on an amazing sense of intuition. I wasted my time on 4 years of pre-med, 4 years of medical school, 3 years of Internal Medicine residency, and all kinds of board certifications and 35 years experience so that I knew what tests were appropriate to order. I'm sorry to hear I could have skipped all that and just gone with, what? gut instinct??? psychic ability????. Please note, there is no "American Association of Amateur Physicians"
