Interesting...
You know I don't like Quest.
My doctor uses Quest, and my test results are always "different" when I have them done at the hospital!
My cholesterols are always much higher from Quest.
I am hard to draw, and the doctor's office only has one assistant who can handle me without pain and anguish so 90% of the time I go to the hospital and have it done. And when I do, the cholesterols are always lower!
It took me a while to figure this out... but I am not surprised at all by this article.
It can make one a bit paranoid you know. WHAT IF?
What if the drug industry is paying labs to report higher cholesterol levels? What if, the labs are just sloppy? All those people being convinced to use statins, who maybe don't need them?
This article does make one wonder, what else Quest is messing up?
