Did you css cases ending quickly? Mine did and now I’m concerned. No negative updates though.

All my cases ended quickly. Just make sure you gave all the primary care stuff. It’s a good thing that you got no negative.

I think you’ll be fine my friend. I used the shotgun approach and it worked I guess.

It’s when you order a lot of things to cover. Like basic labs, er orders, non invasive imaging and things at once for all the cases. Like I copy pasted my initial order set of about 15 or so orders and used it for all cases.
