A member asked:
My blood calcium levels were elevated by .1% could this be a symptom of cancer? the nurse practitioner said it was nothing to worry about, but everywhere i read it tells me that it could be really bad.

Can talk with Dr.: An online video consultation (such as here on HealthTap) can help a patient decide if such a change in lab test results has any meaning at all. For example, if a serum calcium level was 9.0, a 0.1% increase would result in 1.001 x 9.0 = 9.009, which rounds off to 9.0 (no change!). Math stays true, so if a patient is worried about his numbers... it's time to see the doctor on video or in-person
