An example of poor communications!
A friend of mine runs a stained glass window business part time which means he is exposed to significant amounts of lead and felt he should have his blood lead level checked - a test his GP charged for. The result came back to the GP of 0.66 - no units and no indication of what this meant in regards to toxicity.
I am assuming this is micrograms / ml and that the level of concern is around 1.6 ug/ml but told him he should go back and insist the GP rings the lab for interpretation.
