Reread I added more,. Yes and you only get screened for conditions that relate to epilepsy. Your epilepsy blood tests say nothing about your HIV
status, or your vitamin level counts.
Because over testing means over billing and over billing is grounds for a lawsuit. Not to mention a clear cut case of mal/fraudulent practice.
Are you aware how much money it cost to blindly look through someone's blood actually costs? More then your house man, they don't do it.
Then even if they do run a full scan tell me here where they run your blood in a black light? What about HIV diagnosis? Vitamin deficiency? None of
that is added unless the doctor asks for it specifically.
Your tests are limited to platelids, kidney and liver conditions involving epilepsy. There's nothing there about the other organs in your body, like
heart or even something as simple as clot scans. These aren't included, and even if they were the doctor doesn't even look at ANY other panels
outside of liver and kidney for damages relating to epilepsy.
This is why so many diseases and ailments go unnoticed for years. Unless you start prescreening early for "Specifics" like cancer.
epilepsy blood tests full spectrum scanning
See you could have a high white cell count and by default they will think it is an infection in the kidneys and liver due to your preconditions that
allows you to be susceptible to that ailment. The chances you will be screened for CANCER off a said "infection"(high white cell count) is next to
none. So you will be given a course of antibiotics and be on your way. Despite the fact large amounts of white cells can easily indicate early stages
of cancer.
So by natural design no doctor will "fish" around in your blood work to find out what is wrong with you without a previous diagnosis. Blood work is
then use to confirm said diagnosis. Not the other way around.
Now there are some drs who actually have their own lab equipment. Not many, some places can do testing on site and not have to ship your blood to
another facility. Sometimes, while it's rare a doctor actually takes an interest in their actual patient for more then their paycheck. Again this is
rare, and depending on the rules of said clinic or hospital they may or may not investigate further in their own time.
Usually older doctors if they notice a weird trend and want to publish a paper which is beneficial to their careers(Young drs will never do it. They
work for the system. Not for you, nor do they care about papers and the meetings Drs get to go to once a year.).
If they notice a weird trend with their patients, or have a super rare conditions will sometimes do extra research again mainly to benefit themselves.
Epilepsy is far from a "rare conditions" to go exploring in your blood work. Same with almost every ailment out there.
There is 1 disease I know of specifically Drs will dig through blood work, scans and everything else to find the cause, ITP. That is because there is
NO KNOWN cause.. which means any Dr who can identify what causes it naturally gets a Prize and serious recognition.
I am sure there is a few other rare diseases the more experienced doctors looking to make a name for themselves will root through various tests. But
honestly, not many are actually left without an identifying marker that doesn't have a root cause. But those that do pay for it either out of pocket,
or have you sign a paper to be studied during treatments.
So when these little things do appear in news or media. It's not only smart to pay attention and take note. But realize that "discovery medicine" has
been dead for at least 10-15 years. So while it's good to have a cautious view. You should still pay attention to it. Because "discovery medicine" is
not only rare but expensive.
If you ever had an issue they couldn't diagnose or treat, then you know exactly where I am coming from. Including the part where your complaints go
unheard, or testing is bare minimal. Then you live your life suffering. (This happens to be the case for many migraine sufferers who aren't cured by
medications that are out there - that is just one of the more notable groups I am talking about, but there is way more then that.)
