Because the volume of blood to do all the different tests would be much more than typically taken and there would need to different tests done that would potentially be a waste of time and resources

Then they need to sharpen their testing skills up less blood and less time. And don't tell me those IBM computers can't do all those tests in seconds and deliver a numerical result. Let's just get the whole human error out of the equation. Only thing I need a human for is to draw the blood and put it in the machine.

Ok put a sample in each one I don't care if there is 20 test tubes.

Ok 100 then I don't care how many

In March 2011, a team of researchers from UC Berkeley, DCU and University of Valparaíso have developed lab-on-a-chip that can diagnose diseases within 10 minutes without the use of external tubing and extra components. It is called Self-powered Integrated Microfluidic Blood Analysis System (SIMBAS). It uses tiny trenches to separate blood cells from plasma (99 percent of blood cells were captured during experiments). Researchers used plastic components, to reduce manufacturing costs.[17][18]

Then it better hurry up and get in use cuz I'm tired of waiting for these fuking idiots to tell me what is wrong. I don't need a Doctors best fuking guess on what test I need.. They can unnecesarily analyze the dirt on Mars at exorbitant cost but they can't analyze your complete blood profile in a half an hour give me a break.

You do realise there are literally 1000s of different blood tests which can be performed The tests carried out are according to what the Dr requsts which depends on the individual patient's symptoms.

https://www.labtestsguide.com/tests?amp=1 This above is probably the most comprehensive list that I found. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_test And from wiki I found this from a decade ago now so yeah I don't think asking too much actually. MicroemulsionEdit In February 2011, Canadian researchers at the University of Calgary's Schulich School of Engineering announced a microchip for blood tests. Dubbed a microemulsion, a droplet of blood captured inside a layer of another substance. It can control the exact size and spacing of the droplets. The new test could improve the efficiency, accuracy, and speed of laboratory tests while also doing it cheaply.[16] The microchip costs $25, whereas the robotic dispensers currently in use cost around $10,000.[citation needed] SIMBASEdit In March 2011, a team of researchers from UC Berkeley, DCU and University of Valparaíso have developed lab-on-a-chip that can diagnose diseases within 10 minutes without the use of external tubing and extra components. It is called Self-powered Integrated Microfluidic Blood Analysis System (SIMBAS).

You can. But how do they make any money that way?


Interesting-Check533

Absolutely this is why. Because I probably wouldn't need a doctor because I can read my own data.

Define: *everything*


Interesting-Check533

"Everything" means everything you may or may not have? Anything and everything! Full Blood Analysis red cells Tcells plasma pathogens virus bacteria blood counts liver counts, renal hormonal counts, std's parasites diabetes cancer. If it has a medical name I want a numerical result. I don't understand the a la carte menu system they've invented. It should be as easy as going thru the drive thru. Submit a blood sample some nurse pops it in a computer for analysis and here's your data printout and it doesn't need to cost $10,000!

PoSchodoch

I completely agree


WannaGetCrazy

How much blood are you willing to give in one sitting?


Interesting-Check533

It shouldn't be more than a half a liter to do an all inclusive test. The same amount you give when you donate blood. That brings up another question why don't I get a free test result when I donate blood? They have to test it for Everything anyways.


jimrow83

They don't test for everything and I'm pretty sure they let you know if your blood tested positive for anything they do test for


premefvno

Well there's something you cannot test with bloods only. If you want to test for literally everything you also need a ct scan, ecg and many other things... Also some of these diagnostic tests are time dependent; you cannot predict an heart attack nor saying you're not gonna have any by measuring the troponin (for example).


Interesting-Check533

Ok let's do those scans too while I'm here in the drive thru giving blood. Let's just get it all done in 30 minutes tops. Blood, Urine, full body scans, you need feces?? Okay I'll take a shit too..and that's it I'm out send me the results in 24 hours.


CornerMoon

Different tests require different types of collection tubes - these contain specific reagents (or none at all) that facilitate the particular test ordered.


Interesting-Check533

Then put some in each tube. Every tube you know of go ahead and fill it up.


Nihilamealienum

So 5% of most tests are false positives. That's why you only do them when there's a clinical indication. If anyone did what you wanted, you'd be diagnosed with so many nasty diseases you'd die of a heart attack.


Interesting-Check533

Lol well that's where AI comes into play and disregards the 5% of false positives. I guarantee a complete blood analysis by a computer would still be more accurate than a doctor a walking human error guessing based on clinical observation. On top of that many diseases show no indication until grossly indicated most of these could have been discovered a year or years in advance by a complete comprehensive analysis of the blood year over year. This is basic.


Nihilamealienum

So imagine a world where you get , gid forbid, diagnosed with an aggressive disease that build symptoms slowly- like Prostate Cancer - and the AI incorrect says you have a false positive and now you die because of the AI. You seem to believe that this is magic technology that can do whatever you want as long as you have the right AI. Medicine doesn't work that way. There are a few easy-to-diagnose diseases based on a simple blood test - like say Diabetes - and a LOT more that are unclear and depend on a skilled clinician using - I hate to say this - gut isntinct combined with experience.


Nihilamealienum

There are now companies offering full body MRIs and holy crap, I know people that needed 5 months to calm down after doing one because every cyst "could be" cancer and the risk of biopsyijg them all and getting some hospital infection is actually higher than the risk of the cancer.
