You can get most blood tests yourself. No doctor is needed.

i think the law in California requires that a physician or health care practitioner give the order to the lab. i don't think the average patient in California is allowed to order their own medical lab tests.

in this particular area, one might argue that Georgia is more enlightened than California.
