Testing

We separate laboratory testing into two diagnostic categories: organ/tissue pathology, and
organ/tissue functional disturbance evaluation.

The latter is more dynamic in nature and reflects the trajectory towards pathology, while the former is more static and reflects arrival at pathology. Admittedly, this separation is quite artificial since nothing concerning the body is quite so straightforward— there is typically overlap, redundancy, and flux. However, this way of approaching laboratory testing allows me to not only focus on making diagnoses, but to methodically search for obstacles to healing.
