Official Title: Cortisol Response to Low Dose Cosyntropin Stimulation Test in the Late Afternoon

Brief Summary: Previous study showed that afternoon cosyntropin testing was associated with a sevenfold increased likelihood of failing the 1μg test. However, in that study, investigators used a 20.3 cm plastic tube, which might have led to uncompleted cosyntropin delivery. In ther current study investigators will study afternoon 1μg cosyntropin cortisol stimulation using a short 2.5 cm tube.
