Ask your primary care physician, if he(she) is not part of a big group like Kaiser Permanente. X-rays, blood tests, etc. get over done. Patient goes in to a clinic or E.R. and gets a battery of tests. Then next visit, patients goes to a different facility and gets the similar battery of tests. Not bothering to tell the personnel at the second facility that the test results are available from the first facility.
