So, you're going for a lab test

Elizabeth Kessel (aka Dr Elizabeth Sykes) is a retired pathologist. She obtained her medical degree from the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine, part of the University of London, but her pathology training and working career has all taken place in Michigan.  She is board-certified in anatomic and clinical pathology and has subspecialty certification in chemical pathology – the latter being the focus of most of her career.  Elizabeth will review what happens or might happen when you go for a routine lab test.
