There IS meat here, but it isn't the hematology problem. It's that their medical director is unqualified to direct this lab. CLIA is very stringent about what qualifications are needed for a lab doing high-complexity testing.

CLIA is indeed the law, passed by Congress many years ago. Even Kissinger can't throw his weight around and bypass it. Duh
