Nazli , i couldnot agree with you more that one should not lie to medical practitioners. in fact one should not lie to anyone. !

However,i was not telling the lab tech that i know more than him, i was clarifying a doubt and i was informing him that the doctor hasnot advised me for a fasting result. the point of my post is that even after i got my query clarified , the nurse and the lab technician did not communicate to each other cause it seems there is a silo culture in hamad. as a result - here i was a patient getting 2 different kinds of advice and i think i am well within my rights to question that. is my point clear now ?
