Hello, first year resident here (not really)...
When ordering a test for something, for example myasthenia gravis, the lab requires a diagnosis. When in a situation where the test is not definitive, i.e. you know they have it but you're verifying, you put down "Myasthenia Gravis" and leave it at that. When you're seeing someone who might have the diagnosis you're testing for it, it's been said that you should not, indeed can not, put anything resembling "rule out myasthenia gravis".
How are you all dealing with this dilemma?
