Question: Would my doctor have me fast for a glucose test that didn't need to be fasted for just so I would fail and have to go to the hospital for the second test? $$$ I am a Medicaid patient. He's also ordered an Xray for my thigh without actually investigating possible causes for my pain...which my physical therapist says is just residual pain from the hormonal and pregnancy changes that have been introduced to my body.
I have followed his orders but it seems he skips over steps in the scientific process and reaches for what will harvest the cash.
