My doctor refuses to allow me to order my own lab tests.
WHAT? What do you care about my lab tests. I want an h.Pylori breath only lab test and I demand you give me one.
No.
WHAT? You said NO? Because you can I suppose right? I did all the research. Read all the white and grey papers analyzed my own symptoms and determined that I need an h.Pylori breath lab test – DAMMIT!
No.
CURSE YOU! GIVE ME WHAT I WANT OR I’LL GO AROUND YOU AND GET WHAT I WANT ANYWAY!
No.
Oh yeah? Well, guess what? Online, walk-in lab tests are all over the place now. I can get one tomorrow if I want and you can’t stop me.
And because medicine, healthcare, the whole health industry is 75% INFORMATION, then I can acquire that information ON MY OWN without your stinking help.
So UP YOURS DOCTOR!
