It’s incredible how many health issues people have but aren’t aware of. I advise people find doctors and facilities that are friendly towards getting more diagnostics not less. Blood work and other types of tests can help you fix things early.

- SilverElfin 1y agoThat’s great. I assume they make it easier to get the work done? I feel like it’s always an uphill battle to convince physicians to do some diagnostic test that has no downside.
- jerlam 1y agoQuest and Labcorp have made it fairly easy to get diagnostic bloodwork yourself, without involving a doctor. It's a lot more than $200 though. It's actually cheaper for me to go to one of these labs than to talk to a doctor and deal with insurance.
