Extremely healthy apparently
I went to my mystery medical appointment that someone phoned up to arrange without telling me what I was being booked in for. From the wary way that the nurse asked me 'did anyone mention what this is about?' I get the vibe that nobody phoned had been told, and she had therefore been dealing all week with people who had made up their own minds what the appointment was for, and were unwilling to be dissuaded.
I had no preconceptions, so was happy with the reveal that it was a cardiac checkup. I was weighed, measured (do they think I'm going to get taller at my age?) had a pinprick cholesterol test and a blood pressure check and was asked questions about my diet and smoking habits.
All these things revealed that my chance of cardiac problems was rated at 0.92. Apparently anything under 20 is good. The nurse was quick to assure me however, that there is no money-back guarantee.
