    Wow…cost effective for a probably .49 cent piece of litmus paper?
    My doctor makes my Bl2 shots very cost effective. He charges $5.00 for the shot and $30 for the nurse to give it to me:P Surely he could find an angle to do it?!!!

    I found it interesting when I questioned my internist after my diagnosis with BC as to why he DIDN’T do a urinalysis with my annual exam. He said he never found anything so it wasn’t “cost effective.” Interesting. Also interesting, I NEVER had any blood in my urine before or during my diagnosis journey according to my urologist.
