Times have changed. A visit to your doctor is a lot different today.

So are there any risks involved if I do take the test?

Oh well there are risks and benefits to every test. And that’s a good question, you’re right to ask.

It’s okay to ask your doctor questions. And asking the right ones will get the best care for you.

Do you have any other concerns at all?
