Have you ever ordered heavy metal testing in the initial consult when you hear about nonspecific symptoms about known history of heavy metal exposure?

Chris: Not typically, but if the patient is super eager and has sufficient resources, money is not a concern for them, and they just want to do as much of the testing initially as possible, then we will do that. I try to work with patients wherever they are. Some people really want to get biggest sparing for their buck and conserve, limit expenses as much as possible, and in that case, we will kind of customize the initial consult and how we order their tests. For others, time is shorter than money for them, and they just really want to get as much testing as they can get done upfront, and we’re happy to work with them on that too.
