Does anyone genuinely hate what you do? I practice workers’ compensation and I’m about 15 years into this practice and the clients are just some of the nastiest, most abhorrent people.

I thought this type of testing was optional and usually recommended if you are using a donor. My guess is that they are booked and pushing me to the Jan cycle. Thoughts?
