Fake Medical Lab Results?

Factual Questions

(The long version of this story is on MSIMS, but this is so important, I wanted to post here too.)

I suspect I might be the father of a fifteen-year-old boy in Panama. I went down there to do a DNA test. It cost $600 and I was told it would take ninety days to get the results from the States.

We got the test results and it was negative. The test results also seem darn fishy to me.

  1. The date of collection was wrong by one day.
  2. The write-up (signed by some medical type) was dated the day after the collection date!

I have not seen the results yet, my wife has them in Panama. I will call her tonight. I will have her get our family-law lawyer to give it the once-over.

I presume the test results will identify the lab name and address, as well as the name of the technician who did the write-up. That being the case, how should I proceed to make sure the results are right?

All of this might sound silly, but outside of Panama City is an empty factory. They used to make birth-control pill. They were fake. Medical tomfoolery has a long history in Panama.

End of Game.

I just talked to my wife, she gave me all the details of the lab report, including the lab name and phone number. It would do no good to call them since they will not give the information to someone on the phone.

Anyway, the lab report is notarized. That is it. It is official. I am not the father. I just have to accept that.

Is that good news or bad?

It’s official that you didn’t provide the sperm, but it seems to me that it’s up to you whether or not you’re going to be his father.
