Why is it that every time that I go to the doctors these days they want to slice me away?
I went to endocronologist - she gave a laundry list of tests, labs, bloodwork and a thyroid biopsy.
I took my daughter to her ped - and he told me to also get her bloodwork, hearing test and a visit to the neurologist.
Are these things really necessary and now they aren't even covered fully by insurance?
With increasing cost of healthcare - shouldn't doctors take a step by step approach? Should we use webmd.com to diagnose ourselves but to what point.
In the end it's really the doctors call - they are the experts and I am the one who pays their bills.
Most tests are done to rule out possiblities, and then to cover themselves in case of possible lawsuits.
I know they are a headache but better to be safe than sorry.
