2. Making Sense of Medical Tests | Why Your Story Comes First
Description
Lab results in your inbox? Breathe. In this episode of MOHIvate, Dr Mohi Sarawgee makes sense of medical tests—why they aren’t crystal balls, what they’re good at, where they mislead, and why your story matters most.
She shares real examples, the screenings that save lives, the simple rule that keeps care kind, and the one key question to ask before any test: Will this change what happens next?
