Tip # 702 - IS THIS A WORLD RECORD?

Sunday, Dec 7

My annual exam is scheduled for tomorrow. So that my blood chemistry profiles can be reviewed with my PCP then, I went in Tuesday morning for lab work.

Appointment was at 8:00 and I was back in my car at 8:15. That by itself is pretty darn good.

Then I looked at my phone: “New test results available.” The MyChart message was sent at 8:12.

How is that even possible?

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (16 results); Lipid Panel (6 results); Complete Blood Count with Differential (24 results); and, Hemoglobin A1C.

I should be happy everything is within normal ranges, BUT . . . . . . 

If you took your car into the shop for routine maintenance – you know, oil change, rotate the tires, check the fluids, etc. – and it was done in 10 minutes, might you be skeptical any work was done?!

BTW. Next up is a colonoscopy.
