Is your endo not a doctor herself?  *facepalm*  Did she mean an internist or a psychiatrist?  I needed a letter from a psychiatrist as well, but most endos started out as internists and just wanted to specialize.  I don't get it either.   I'd personally ask her how many transgender patients she's ever treated, because the wrong hormone balance (for you, personally) really does mess with your head and that's a no-brainer for an endo.

no idea, i was looking for a psych for an eval but i said imma just go to my pcp and have her use my current records. doesnt sound like my endo needs a letter from me though becuz she said nothing about bringing one though she gave that look as if she was surprised i didnt have one yet o.o honestly she confused me even more though she is more than willing to help me
