And docs honestly believe that the test will help. Many are not scamming you, they really want to know the result.

The single most helpful question I have if you're deciding on whether to take or refuse a test is this: "How will knowing the result change the course of treatment?" I avoided an intestinal biopsy once this way, as the answer was, "It won't. It would just be nice to know."
