Yes, unfortunately. In many cases, there are few choices. If you are having your blood tested, it will go to one of only two major labs that do testing. One is LabCorp, and the other is Quest Diagnostics, and they are both very expensive. Each was sued by the government for overcharging.
I suffer from hand tremors. The neurologist has ruled out Parkinson's, which is a great relief! He said that there are about 40 conditions which could lead to this symptom, and there is only one lab which performs the analysis. They charge a fortune for it, and the kicker is, there is no cure for any of them when you *do* find out!
It's no biggie... Scans show that part of my brain is melting, but it just means a long, slow decline, which is already happening anyway!
