Sincere question: if you are going to order a PE study on a patient even if the D-dimer comes back negative, why are you ordering the D-dimer?

Tis that amazing time of year where I get to congratulate new Medical Laboratory Scientists who are graduates of the UCF #MedLabSci program. Hearing their excitement over passing their board exam is such a wonderful feeling.

May I humbly disagree. “Battling” insurance assumes that there is a fighting chance. Insurers set the rules, break the rules, and at worst, settle years later (after most practices —not to mention patients —can’t float the cash to survive a prolonged lawsuit/appeal process).

The US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit denied Elizabeth Holmes's last-ditch motion to remain free pending her appeal, and Judge Davila separately ruled that Holmes and Balwani are on the hook for $452 million in restitution. reuters.com/legal/court-de…
