why you always need to look at your lab report yourself
I asked my PA at my two week follow-up what they request for draws. She pretty much had all these EXCEPT...they dont do trace minerals. She said they dont pull those unless there is an issue. I'm gonna ask when they give me my labs sheet if they will add them for me. Just for my own peace of mind. Not sure if they will or not.

I would ask them to. If they won't. you can ask your PCP.
Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
Thanks so much for the list, Kelly, and everything else you do.
