Daniel R., a 47-year-old male, went to his physician for an “annual” physical that had been postponed for over 3 years. He had started his own business 4 years ago and had been extremely busy getting it established. Daniel’s medical history indicated he was a nonsmoker, and his father and grandfather had histories of myocardial infarction before age 55. Since the physician had not seen this patient in a number of years, she decided to order routine screening tests. SERUM Patient Test Requisition/Reporting Patient Name: Daniel R.
