This type of mistake infuriates me to no end because there’s no reason it should happen. I was recently looking at blood tests from years back to figure out my usual resting glucose levels (just got a GCM) and stumbled on my testosterone results.
I was in the green, so my doctor (and nurse practitioner) didn’t notice a problem but I had the testosterone levels of a 50 or 60 year old in my late 20s. Since the acceptable range wasn’t adjusted for age by the Quest report, the range is ridiculously huge.
