I guess I’m spoiled. If you can call it that? Single self swab for our sites can be used to check GC/CT, trichomonas, candida and BV panel. Haven’t done a wet prep in a decade. If you don’t have multiplex PCR panels where you are at, I’d push to start using them.

@thegenius I don’t have to just rely at looking at people anymore. They can swab themselves!

In seriousness though, I wonder how improved diagnostic testing coupled with AI is going to obviate the need for a physician to be involved at times. Not that I ever want to be involved with this area of medicine.
