I remember one case where a patient had complaints that were confusing to the doctor and he (the patient) was sent to the lab. We performed liver function tests and renal fuction tests. The results revealed the the renal function tests were out of range and so the doctor had a clearer picture of what was going on with the patient. So what do I learn from this? Well, i could say that, my proffesion saved the day. Both for the troubled patient and the confused doctor!

As a family physician for 15 years and lab director of our high complexity medical laboratory, the availability of labs given and interpreted to my patients at the time of the visit has been unique, incredible, satisfying as a physician. I continue to love my profession as well as continuing to learn from my patients as well as being satisfied on a daily basis that I helped out many people on a daily basis. Lab testing is rewarding on many levels!
