A member asked:
Do you know are endoscopys, colonoscopys, cat scans, ultra sounds the only test to show if you have anything wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Why do you think something is wrong? The first clues are your symptoms. Before ordering tests, a doctor should talk to you about symptoms and do a good physical exam. The tests you mention are all different ways of imaging the body. There are many other tests out there, but nothing as good as a doctor who takes time to listen and think before ordering a bunch of tests!
