So I went to the new cardiologist yesterday. I had to fast for 12 hours. By the time they took my blood, I hadn't eaten in over 16 hours. They took 8 tubes of blood and I am positive they only needed 7. The tech was confused and didn't have a label for the last tube. I'm pretty sure, that after having had that much blood taken, I could have used that last tube.
I really liked the doctor, but like all doctor's appointment for me, they only result in more doctor's appointments. This one incurred 6 additional appointments. A follow-up visit with the cardiologist in 3 months and blood work a week before that. I have to have an Echo next week, and she is sending me to see a nutritionist, and exercise person and a smoking concession person. Apparently Cleveland Clinic has decided that this is the year I get healthy and they are not giving me a choice.
I might actually live past 50, but I am exhausted just thinking about all of these appointments. In addition to those, I have 3 other appointments this month. Back to the neurologist, the beloved chiropractor and the new crazy doctor. I love having to go to specialist for everything. Instead of paying one $20 copay, I am paying shit loads of $20 copays.
