He then instructed his personal doctor to talk with Dr. Siguel. Dr. Siguel discussed with Fry's doctor about Fry's current status and various treatment alternatives. Instead, Dr. Siguel merely provides scientific discussion with your doctor. Mr. Fry could afford the best treatment. The issue was not cost, but optimal diagnosis.
Nobody has enough blood for all possible blood tests, and many other invasive tests have high risks.
The plan was to minimize risk, select the best diagnostic tests, and avoid potentially harmful diagnostic or treatment approaches. Fry's doctor quickly understood Dr. Siguel's concepts. Both Mr. Fry and his doctor liked the idea of prolonging Fry's life by optimizing nutritional intake and using blood tests to achieve optimal nutritional status. Moreover, they understood that the approach suggested by Dr. Siguel involved minimal risks and had the potential for huge payoffs. Although no assurances could be made that the treatment would succeed, optimizing dietary fat intake made sense to everyone.
