Yet again we see the response of the Clinical Biochemistry community to
a new test
NO, NO, NO, NO, ARGGH, over my dead body, think of my budget, I am here
to deny tests NOT provide a service. What, talk to clinical colleagues,
the temerity of these patients wanting A GOOD MODERN SERVICE, We know
what's good for you, sit down and shut up. AND DO NOT ASK!!!!!
No wonder FOCUS had to run a theme on the value of diagnostic tests.
The data for BNP is beginning to accumulate and is very compelling. Take
your heads out of the sand and start talking to patients, clinicians and
PCT's NOW. Must we again show that UK Clinical Biochemistry is always
the last to innovate?
Personally I am delighted that patients groups are taking an interest.
About time. Look at the troponin fiasco - now the Gold standard.
I begin to wonder if Mr Blair isn't right after all (and many know my
views) - patients seem to be the last that lab folk focus on.
On call U and E only indeed.
PS if your blood pressure is not yet up I have failed!!!
We have been running BNP for 2 years.
