The Test Results Are In
I finally got the test results from when I was having my "heart issues" and the good news is that everything is fine. They didn't see anything out of the ordinary and therefore I have a clean bill of health unless and until it happens again, and then I should come back in.
This is a relief, because by the time I got in to the doctor's office to go over the results I had worked myself into having anything and everything from high cholesterol to lyme disease to an undiagnosed thyroid disorder.
I only have one peeve about the whole thing and I may be way off base here, but they never called me to let me know the results were in. I had to call them and then they wouldn't tell me anything over the phone so I had to go in and see the doctor to find out what was going on. Now, I don't have any problem having the doctor go over things with me--I prefer it, actually--but what if I'd never called and there WAS something significant in the findings? How long would they have let me wait?
I'm not asking them to babysit me, but what if I were old or feeble-minded and I'd forgotten about them? What then???

Fun facts: The fastest heart rate the Holter monitor recorded was 114, which must have been while I was at work. The slowest was 46, which was when I was sleeping. I had no idea it could beat that slow!
doctors make me feel sick... however i can tell you (and i hope this is
true) that had you had a positive result of any sort you would have several
nurses and assistants calling you to get in again. the normal results are
sometimes left "on the side". This is of course unacceptable regardless,
but from personal experience positive results are jumped on. We call or
send letters about all of them (letters for normal results) but some
clinics are just too busy or too undermanned. Gotta love our American
Medical System.
Well, I had some long comment, but Vista decided to reboot my computer as I
typed, so I lost it! AAACK!
They make you come back in so they can charge you for a visit, even if
there is nothing wrong with you. I bet. Glad to hear you're all good.
juan--well, i certainly hope you're right that they'd call if they had
positive results. i'm kinda hoping obama can do something about this . . .
