    When only four years old, I developed a life-threatening infection that was treated effectively only after being tested against multiple antibiotics in a clinical lab. I now help women reach their goal of medical school while teaching in an undergrad college. My colleague, another biology professor, survived meningitis as an infant in part due to the testing performed in a clinical lab. THANKS!

    It is the difference between a definitive, clinical diagnosis and an approximation of what is medically wrong with a patient. Lab testing is essential testing.
