wait, what? do I need a prescription from my doctor to get a radiologist to scan my bones? (United States cel)

he'll say no to everything even if I tell him I'm concerned about my thyroid for him to refer me to an endocrinologist

fucking pointless doctor he literally doesn't do shit literally all he does is refer me to get shots and check my balls

can I just go to a pediatric endocrinologist first to check my hormones and he can refer me?

But why would an endo refer you to a radiologist,what's the reasoning behind this?

goal is to get my mom to bring me to an endocrinologist by saying it's for me worrying about thyroid because of my constipation (I literally actually do have severe constipation btw), she'll probably say no and I'd try convincing her by cleaning maybe jfl...

then ask my endocrinologist if he can refer me to a radiologist because I've been suddenly having extreme pain in my hips and legs after sprinting (this also has actually been an issue for me suddenly, maybe because maybe my aromasin was actually kinda legit) but I'd really want it for an x ray on my spine, legs and wrist

I think you need a doctor's permission for a radiologist to scan your bones, so I'd use an endocrinologist for this.
