Tell me about this
It was a week ago that I made it out
to Crumpsall for my biannual medical with sheaves of printed-out medical
results to get a better understanding of and explanation of the medical terms
of obfuscation and intrigue.
This time, I met the lead consultant
who was quite amenable to my inquiries, explaining in great detail the somewhat
confusing or misunderstood terms whilst allaying my fears about other issues.
Critically, it was the result of the
MRI scan I had in early October, the reading suggests that nothing is wrong
with my bones, but my back muscles do need strengthening with physiotherapy,
whenever I can get access to that service.
It flows better with drinking water
As was drinking water from the time
that I woke up, my veins easily presented for phlebotomy, though that might
well be dependent on the nurse doing it. I doubt the nurse with height and
hands that would leave him comparable to the Nephilim would have succeeded, no
matter what he might have tried.
Now, the results of the blood tests
are posted for viewing immediately after they are available, the portal also offers
trends on a graphical scale for you to note gradual or sudden changes to the
readings observed.
Once again, I am grateful to the
medical team that handles my care, from the receptionist who is always amiable
and pleased to see me, we exchange copious pleasantries to the nurses who
measure the vitals and then the consultants who extend beyond expertise to
respectful humanising of their patients. I guess it is another meeting in six
months.
