Our healthcare system is badly broken but some things make me really angry. What offends you the most?

There are plenty of villains driving health care costs and ultimately killing sick people but some things really burn me. Don't read this piece if you have a heart condition. I'm not responsible if you read this and hurt yourself

Question is a liver biopsy the best diagnostic tool? Had the fibroscan.

Any other tests ?questions ?

That I should /could ask the Dr at Mayo?

biopsy is the best conceptually even though it does have an error rate. If you don't want to go biopsy the elastography version of an MRI is the best non-invasive method just expensive.
