Testing Put in the Public's Hands

[Guest guest]

When I first read this article, I thought about how happy all those

hypochondriacs and Munchausen-by-Proxy folks out there are going to be... but

after reflecting on it, why not? There are many instances

when I might have wanted a CBC or an Ultrasound of something without

the hassle of a trip to the doctor, who may or may not indulge my nursing

paranoia.

 

It may also be an option for the allopathic shy to be screened; many people hate

going to the doctor so much they put it off until their problems have advanced

to serious proportions... this might be a way to avoid some of that happening,

if they will take those screening results to a knowledgeable professional for

interpretation and treatment.

 

At any rate, I figured it is an example of how the individual might be gaining

another foothold in self reliance within the health care milieu.
