IM serum level testing - Cam, Lynn

[Guest guest]

According to Dr. Druker, per the exchange below, Merrill Egorin at U. of

Pittsburgh is willing to run IM levels on the serum of patients other than

his own. You might want to pass along this info to your docs and ask them

send a sample of yours for testing.
