[Meta] the tier 3 rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining
Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom.
I have been tracking tier 3 against ApoB for 23 weeks because I could not find anyone who had. The correlation is weaker than I expected, which is itself mildly interesting given how confidently people link the two in here.
Caveats up front: one person, one lab, one assay, no control, and I changed my training in the middle of it, which was stupid.
tl;dr: probably real, definitely smaller than the threads imply, and not worth reorganising your week around.

Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.

the two-year waiting list is accurate for most of England
i changed my mind reading this, which never happens
Disagree on that part. 97.6% and 97.9% on the same vial is normal.

Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.
MHRA supply notices change monthly, follow the actual list
the Scottish pathway is different from the English one
This is correct. Private and NHS pathways are different.
Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
NHS tier 3 is tier 3, the waiting list is real
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.
