Abstract

Our world and particularly our profession changes around us daily. Regardless of whether we choose to embrace change, or choose not to embrace change, it will occur. Our physical features and abilities are constant reminders of change. This brief presentation addresses one practitioner's attempt to keep up with change and stay ahead of the aging process. Data sets presented demonstrate current trends in lab testing for pregnancy diagnosis, as well as comparisons between laboratory results and rectal palpation. Protocols for personnel implementing synchronization and testing are discussed.
