Taking medical test at hospital vs lab?
What is the difference between taking medical test at hospital vs lab? The hospital may not have robotic automated machines while the lab does. Also it seems nobody does the tests manually.
For example, a cbc test. If taken at hospital or lab which one will be accurate?
