Standardized annual metabolic monitoring
Is the concept of implementing standardized annual metabolic monitoring by labs as a standard practice just too simple (or too complicated) for our medical providers to use?
Instead, we just keep depending upon the hit and miss of annual radiation exposure applied based on age (also a matter of controversy).

Maybe if somebody dressed the idea up with expensive modern technogeek equipment it would become more "popular" with medical providers?
