7.1.1 Kindly be reminded that a diagnostic test should not be done at the
patient’s request or as a screening exercise.
7.1.2 All too often in the clinical setting patients ask their provider to bypass
the most fundamental of all diagnostic tools, the history and physical
examination, and advance to the ordering of laboratory testing in a
misguided effort to reassure about their health status.
7.1.3 Providers must take responsibilities for conveying their false impressions
that laboratory test somehow has magic power by them to detect
diseases.
7.1.4 Depending on your requirement, obtain a specimen accordingly, using
appropriate specimen container(s) supplied by Pantai Premier Pathology
Sdn Bhd.`
