Hello,

As a fellow new member of Neuro Talk, I fully understand the desire not to offend with our words. However, I also fully recognize a need to learn the full range of individual experiences any one of us may have with an organization, medical professional, or lab. As I recently wrote to Rose: I think your underlying message is an important one and one that is quite welcome, if we are to inclined to believe Meyers-Briggs, by the many idealists in the forum. We need to know the good, the bad, and the ugly (cue Ennio Morricone soundtrack here) in order to make fully informed decisions.

I understand that Rose may have had entirely different reasons for editing or deleting her post, but I just feel strongly that we should acknowledge, or even welcome, different experiences. Obviously, Vicky experienced quite a different outcome, and I appreciate her background information, on this type of testing. Imagine if we decided to use this lab for genetic testing (this is something I have been considering) based only on that one experience? I would have no inkling that there may be serious financial repercussions in doing so, and worse, unaware, I may have opened the door to yet another insidious source of stress in my life. I think we all know what stress does. Edit if you must, but please don't altogether delete valuable posts!
