Guest guest Posted February 19, 2003 Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 Hey, this is great! I have my annual physical coming up next week and I'd love to give this to my PCP. We do the lipid and a cbc and liver function every three months, but I can see that's just scratching the surface. Can you tell me where you got it? I think a good citation would help because my doc will certainly be asked why he's doing so many tests for an essentially healthy person. Managed care, y'know. Thanks, /john Re: List of labs > > > I hope someone will post this list of labs to the list!

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 I had a hard time getting into this site. The link is too long and has to be shortened and you need an id and password.
