Extremely poor patient care; especially how easy and inexpensive a dexa scan is and the knowledge you get from it. We do a lot of screening tests (colonoscopy, mammograms, lipid panels, CBC, chest x-rays, etc.) and yet this is simply not done until you are "elderly" and have very little great choices on how to handle a newly diagnosed chronic - and possibly life altering - disease. Don't know what happens in other countries but unfortunately this makes me feel great distrust for the medical profession as a whole. I'll stop now but wow!
