Too Much Bloodwork? with Dr. Kenny Lin | Pop-Up Conversation #16
Bloodwork. No one loves getting it done but what's necessary? What isn't? American consumers receive more health care than in most other developed countries, but we are less healthy. Is unnecessary testing is one of the reasons? Why does it happen and who cares? In Episode #16 of Pop-Up Conversations on Health of Mind, Body, and Spirit, Donna Chacko, M.D., and her guest Dr. Kenny Lin tackle these questions and more.
