  • Dear Dr.'s Office: Thanks for the heart attack

    When you go for some bloodwork and your doctor's office calls a few days later and says "The doctor got your results and wants to see you as soon as possible ..."



    Turned out to be pretty much a nothing-burger. Potassium is a BIT up. I'm a BIT anemic. That's pretty much it. The "urgency" was only because she'd had a cancellation and thought "Okay, I'll just shoehorn Pixilated in there!"
    To be fair it wasn't the doctor herself who called; it was somebody from the office, who probably misunderstood things. "Can you give her a call quickly to get her in here on Thursday?" somehow got translated into a hair-raising phone call that probably took a few years (that I cannot afford at my age) off my life.

      I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!

        Nah, I didn't want to belt anybody ... at least, not once I calmed down.

        And I just Google "severe medial issue" and noooo ... or if I did, I don't remember.
