It's not for the tech to explain to the ordering doc that the patient needs 
anticoagulating--in fact, it's illegal, and possibly marginally illegal for 
the tech to make the call at all (though we certainly do). The tech's job is 
to give the preliminary result of the exam. It's not always possible to 
steer the ordering doc in what the tech might consider to be the right 
direction. So come on yourself.
