Yes, caution is in order.
Good to hear from you. Are you feeling better?
I see no reason to test for stuff I can't be cured of anyway, things just get too complicated.
They woke me up at 1 AM Sunday, gonna haul me down for a scan to see If I had a clot in a lung. I refused. Asked them what they would do if they found a clot, they said use Heparin to dissolve it. I asked them why we couldn't just do that and spare the 1000 dollar scan. Later that day a nurse came in and gave me a shot of Heparin.
I've got insurance but it's at the point where my copay for meds is almost full retail, all my coverage has gone to tests.
They did cancel a few prescriptions I was on, I suspect part of my problem this time was collateral damage from all the pills.
I'm sorry I couldn't see those EMTs hauling me through the woods out to where they left the ambulance, if a gator had crossed the trail they would still be running.
