I'm picking the complete blood count, gotta make sure those blood cells can handle the tetracycline treatment.

Hah, a chest X-ray? What, are we checking for lung acne? Pregnancy test is the clear winner here.

I'm going with liver function tests, just to make sure those enzymes are in check before adding more medication.
