We recently seem to be getting increased numbers of retrospective requests for
analyes to be performed on samples already taken. This morning there was a
request for a TFT to be done on a two week old sample. The main motive for this
seems to be a (wholly reasonable) desire not to bleed a pateint again.
Apart from the fact that storage space for samples is at a premium in this
laboratory, the validity of such an assay must be questionable.
Any comments?
