Medical tests should be used to CONFIRM a diagnosis, not MAKE a diagnosis.
I recently heard from someone who said her doctor said arecent blood test showed that she is hypothyroid (low thyroid). She didn't ask to be tested for thyroid and did not report ANY symptoms that might lead the doctor to think her thyroid was not functioning up to par. The doctor used that one test value to arrive at a diagnosis. Of course, he promptly wrote a prescription for a drug the woman "knew in her gut" she shouldn't take. I told her it might be wise to listen to her gut.
