@lilianna @sueinmn Hi
One visit in 2023 to NJH. Have not been back since.
Found my way to OU Medical Center here, recently, after understanding they are working on becoming a Center of Excellence and that they have the ability to send sputum to NJH for full testing.
The extent, now, for me with NJH, National Jewish Hospital/Clinic, is that my sputum is received from me at the OU Lab and they send it onto NJH.
What I have been doing also is seeing the pulmonologisit in Tyler once a year for a second opinion and that also allows me to use the Tyler lab. I send sputum directly to the Tyler lab via FedEx. My OU pulmonologist likes the fact that I decided to have a check and balance with sputum testing etc. I recently learned, it appears, Tyler reports results a little bit differently. So much to learn with all this and verify.
Hope this clarified it clearly.?
