Describe your experience. What did you learn about this website and the different
labs? Did anything surprise you? (4 pts)

Exploring the LabCorp website was pretty easy and helpful. I checked out the
Anemia Profile B test, which looks at blood components to see if someone has
anemia. The site explained things clearly, like why the test is done and how to
prepare for it. What surprised me was how simple it was to understand
everything, even though it’s a medical website. It felt like a good resource for
anyone looking to learn more about different lab tests.
