• No MD Required: Patients Can Order Their Own Medical Tests - WebMD, 6/20/01 - "Several companies, including Quest Diagnostics, CompleteBloodWork.com, and HealthChecksUSA.com, allow consumers to go to their web sites and choose from practically every medical test available ... The consumer never has to be evaluated by a physician, and the testing companies do not make physicians available to discuss the test results"

Where to get blood tests:

• Life Extension Foundation - has the best selection.  I couldn't even find "testosterone" with the other companies.
• Direct Laboratory Services
• InterFit.com
