HOW TO EASILY UNDERSTAND YOUR BLOOD TESTS?

I was always intrigued by the number of medical (Laboratory and Radiological) tests carried out on  a patient when we go to a doctor whether it is for a common ailment or for a critical ailment. Every test result has many facets to it and unless it is properly interpreted by the doctor who has prescribed it, it will serve no purpose during the diagnosis and subsequent treatment. My father was a victim of wrong clinical tests, diagnosis and treatment.
Many of us being non-medical professionals fails to understand the relevance of each of the many tests prescribed by a doctor. Towards educating ourselves, I have attatched a 38 page booklet in the following path which can give us lots of information on all types of blood tests. The information includes, allowable and critical ranges, importance of the tests, effects due to upper and lower limits, nutritional tips etc.

I would like acknowledge the genuinity of Dr.P.V.Ramachandra Raju, Cardiologist at STAR hospitals, through this blog, who told me that the number of medical tests can certainly be minimised through proper physical examination carried out by a doctor. He practices what he says and we need many such genuine medical professionsals.
