If I knew that they need to take an average of the other WBCs in order for them to determine coverage for scheduling another test, that would help. Or maybe they are just going by insurance guidelines, as opposed to what the patients really need in order to prevent conditions from worsening. How many people would be alive today if their conditions were caught earlier on? It's sad that our healthcare system is so broken.

(((((Hugs)))).

I’ve struggled with these questions and still have a hard time understanding profit/red tape/policies over patients.

I have to take regular breaks and focus on simple self care to avoid/fight depression. Because it becomes very overwhelming.
