Guest guest Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 We have been thru this before, EMS does not need to be in the business of doing this. There are multiple reasons including court time (OT), scrutiny of your PCR (not necessarily a bad thing) and the potential for cases to get tossed because of some technicality of procedure by the person drawing the sample.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Just one of those legal loopholes. When buying a house, always put " pending termite inspection " on the contract. Later, if you decide you want out of the contract and they say " there are not any termites " all you have to say is " I wanted termites " and thus you are out of the contract. BEB E.
