And wouldn't it also depend on the particular diagnosis and how accurate/sure you are? I don't know, but I guess I'll find out soon enough. :)Aekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12183623849361560922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123819319548998095.post-27505785685883939052009-06-27T01:54:32.870-05:002009-06-27T01:54:32.870-05:00Aek!

That's like, hey, I know you've got migrane headaches, but let's order an MRI -instant $1000, btw, just to confirm! That is a COMPLETE waste of money and resources, which is why healthcare is in this deplorable state to begin with! If only med students would start USING their brains...mstpboundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11972328574423374136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123819319548998095.post-90004599547296636712009-06-24T18:22:07.944-05:002009-06-24T18:22:07.944-05:00What you described is exactly what I'm living ...What you described is exactly what I'm living right now. This is the first summer where I have to take classes and the allure of the hot weather and easy days is gone. Summer has just become meshed into all the other seasons, endless hours in florescent lit buildings.<br /><br />I've actually been catching up on your blog; yours is much longer.

Thus, in those states, diagnosis is less necessary. :P<br /><br />However, what's wrong with ordering a test to confirm CF after you've diagnosed it? I guess I'll learn and see.Aekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12183623849361560922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123819319548998095.post-85778443225358272412009-06-23T15:56:08.455-05:002009-06-23T15:56:08.455-05:00Aek! That's exactly what I was talking about. ...Aek! That's exactly what I was talking about. You shouldn't have to memorize useless details like del508Phe to answer the question. This is EXACTLY what's wrong with the US healthcare today--people need EVERY LAST DETAIL to answer a MUNDANE question, so they run up all these useless tests. Can you imagine if the doctor for this had to order a protein sequence in order to dx this child with CF? OR, he could have just seen the cough, malabsorption, and propensity to lung infections, and salty sweat (which costs $0, btw) and made the dx himself!!! To miss the entire POINT of a question-- that to me is the biggest stupidity of all--more so than just NOT knowing the answer to a question!!!mstpboundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11972328574423374136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123819319548998095.post-10598762997549765392009-06-22T22:36:50.805-05:002009-06-22T22:36:50.805-05:00I know exactly how you feel.
