So what is the purpose of coming in?

You show up and ask for help but then decline all the tests we order to figure out what is going on......make it make sense!

Were you offering colonoscopy or what? 😅 That's what I'd decline as well.

@Silentpleasure i have little faith in healthcare. none of the doctors i saw recognized my muscle spasms, nor my mothers late stage pancreatic cancer.

@1490wayb Not everything can be sovled and just like a mechanic or plumber......there are so many different skills and quality of work you can experience in all fields. I'm sorry they didn't catch her cancer or figure out your muscle spasms but we do what we can.

@Silentpleasure I heard about this happening even here where all these tests are covered by the insurance. Patient doesn't pay anything. I often wish I could ask for some specific blood test but it's likely the doctor will decline due to the rules of the insurance company. I'm usually successful with the iron levels though.
