[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 419833, member: 84"] Hmmm. Did the last doctor office send labs out or do them in the office? I'm asking because sometimes you can get a bad lab tech (especially in an office) and get wonky results. We have this problem with our local hospital lab. Techs either don't care or haven't got a clue what they're doing. Either way their results aren't consistant.......enough that I won't use them unless I know who is on duty. This is why we had trouble with the doctor treating Travis' polycythemia.......she insisted on using the hospital lab, which stinks, and his results were all over the place. Super high one visit the next normal. Uh, no.........not when you're not doing phlebotomy to remedy the situation. Next visit super high again. ugh I'm hoping to find a doctor that uses a good independent lab, or one that has their own really good lab. easy child and Nichole's fam does has an excellent lab in his office. But everytime Travis' lab work is sent to an independent in cincy it's always sky high.....yet at the lab here, it's a yo yo. Sends up a red flag. Glad your blood work came back good. And glad you got a good doctor, too. [/QUOTE]
