  1. The more skilled you are as a doctor, the fewer lab tests you will perform.

  2. However, good doctors also know that some lab tests are obligatory in certain situations.

  3. Skilled doctors use therapeutic trials as diagnostic trials as often as possible because this interventional strategy allows for simultaneous and immediate diagnosis and treatment without the expense and delay of laboratory testing.

  4. "No patient ever got better from a lab test; patients only get better from accurate and effective interventions." DrV
