Laboratory (& others) price comparison

i see lots of small labs around the city. i used to use "moms laboratory" near the park downtonw. results in two hours. i changed from them because they started requiring a doctors prescription before they would do testing. as of now ace will do it on your request and give you the results so i prefer that. there is always some question of the quality of "mom and pop" shops however i never had any suspicions about moms. moms also have a fairly limited menu to choose from. one of the nice things about the phils is that when i go see a doctor, that is my second opinion. i make my first using google and local labs and then see if the doctor agrees with me!

 

i write in support of this observation. nearly half price on most of my meds at generika (with a k), not generica *with a c) (although you can get 100 mg generic viagra at generica without a script for 50 pesos a tab} (if up you are still in to that sort of thing) and if you are the bootleg cialis available on the blvd, five bottles for a thousand pesos, works!

 

GZ, do they require a prescription to do your tests or will they do it on your say so and give you the results?

 

I think with or without. We went there to have blood count done on my son without any doctor's note.

 

When I worked in haematology in the 70s, we had a machine that gave a full printout of blood results within seconds.

 

As you realise, it was not here where I worked! At that time they were still in the 1870s.

After analysing the blood by machine, we did make slides and examine under a microscope if necessary - for example if the white blood cell count was high (looking for leukaemia as a possibility). Usually this was done by the most experienced and took only a few minutes - I can remember the look on the Senior Hematologist's face as he got up from looking at some samples as he knew the patient was a goner. The GP was phoned immediately and the patient taken to hospital within the hour. A very good experience in the maxim that life is relatively short - unfortunately very short for some - so make the best of it.

 

Ever tried a splint?

 

Isnt it closed at that location? I used to use them, but they no longer exist there. If you know of a new location, please post. They were always fast and efficient

 

As a matter of interest, do they analyse nasal swabs to detect carriers or do it by fecal analysis?
