Thanks. But that's the key point... they all missed it. We're talking Mayo, Northwestern, U of Chicago. Or maybe they took it (I don't remember now) and misinterpreted it. Key point is that medicine is part art, part science, IMHO. This was also about 12 years ago, perhaps things have changed relative to panels, etc. That part I don't know...
It seems that Western (Rockefeller) medicine is mostly enforced ignorance medicine. It is also enforced sick care and shuns even outlaws health care. Healthy people are not profitable but the sick certainly are.
Look at pix of Rockefeller. I think it was Lincoln who said anyone over 40 is responsible for their own face. His is the look of hell being put into flesh
What I've seen in recent years is that the new crop of GPs pretty much ignore labs. Family members have Kaiser who haven't had a CBC or Comprehensive Metabolic Panel in over 10 years of going in regularly for their annual check up. It's all about flu vaccine, mammogram, and now COVID vaccine. When they have had elevated or low labs, they dismiss it as irrelevant or NBD. Most recently, family member went in with acute abdominal swelling, fatigue, abdominal pain, nausea. She had done labs through LabCorp due to time it would take to get an MD appt. Platelets were over 600 along with elevated neutrophils. GP dismissed it as a flu or stomach bug. Turns out it was ovarian cancer. Elevated platelets and neutrophils should have immediately been a red flag for some sort of acute infection, inflammation, or cancer.
My daughter (in her thirties) had hyponatremia from continuing to drink her gallon of water a day while she was away from her breast-feeding baby. She was taken to a small hospital in rural Pennsylvania where they immediately recognized the problem and got an IV into her right away.
The most basic blood panel should reveal hyponatremia.

That is amazing...
