THere is so much wrong with the medical community. They do great things but there are a lot of gaps
For example, I have an acidosis problem...probably exacerbated by a very rare genetic defect that is involved in the metabolic process.
However, not one physician in the last several years has pointed it out to me. I went through my metabolic blood work. Had they bothered to do the equations they would have discovered it. Every single one of them ( and I have seen many) just relied on the reference range of each test.
I only found out by accident when I came across a Dr who had put a program on the net through medcalc.
you cannot just rely on whatever the doc tells you during an office visit.
