Hm, board seems to have died. Oh well, here's a story about Quest in the news today.

The nation’s largest medical laboratory company provided possibly erroneous results to thousands of people who had their vitamin D levels tested in the last two years, the company has acknowledged.
...
Quest’s action represents “the largest patient test recall I’m aware of in my 20 years in the business,” said Robert L. Michel, editor of The Dark Report, a newsletter for pathologists that first reported on Quest’s action.
...
Quest would not say how many patients were affected. But a spokesman did not deny that thousands of doctors were sent letters in October. Each doctor had at least one patient, and in many cases dozens of patients, who had the possibly inaccurate test results.
