Know your rights and learn the regulations mandated by the US Dept of Health & Human Services. The regs outline protocols in which all practicing labs must follow. Collection, processing, analysis, and reporting of results are all under the watchful eye of the DHHS.

Never admit to anything and NEVER accept any vague info of your test results. You should ask "How did you arrive at the conclusion that my sample is fake, etc. ?" , and let him/her answer. The lab tech or MRO must be completely truthfull and detailed in discussion or else they can be held liable for medical malpractice.

Know your rights and dont be afraid to assert them.
Exactly right, the tester cannot just look at a sample and say it is fake. If it comes out at the wrong temp there is even a certain protocol to follow. It is like they have to take another sample giving you so much water per 30 minutes or something like that. If he thinks it is fake it still must be sent to a lab for confirmation. It looks like he bluffed you big time and you folded.
