Did that neurologist think to recommend patients to an endocrinologist to have calcium and parathyroid levels checked?

"David Rye, a neurologist at Emory University..."A third of our patients are on disability," he says, "and these are 20- and 30-year-old people."

It looks like he refers them to the Social Security Administration for a check.

Impeach the kenyan or secession.

Any doc worth his/her salt would order standard chemistry tests that include calcium just to have a baseline after getting a chief complaint as well as complete prior medical and surgical history. Parathyroid levels would be checked only if the calcium result is abnormal, possibly only if that calcium result is confirmed by a repeat test.
