THE FUSE

Going to the doctor to have tests done has become part of our everyday lives. Often, these checks are done because of symptoms you have experienced, and the doctor is looking to rule in or rule out the possibility that particular causes are behind how you are feeling. But sometimes blood tests can be used as a means of risk assessment. Rather than telling the clinician and patient whodunnit, they merely suggest which way around the board you’d benefit from moving to.
