I was quite sick years back (cancer). I’d be in and out of the hospital on a regular basis. I started declining blood tests because there was no need to monitor anything closely. I’m a very informed patient. I asked if I was home whether they’d be calling me in for blood tests and they said ‘no’. So I said ‘let’s pretend I’m home then’.
FYI, if (prayers that I will always be healthy) I ever get sick, I am going to my dog's vets. He gets awesome care from the docs and awesome care from customer service. He has bone marrow cancer and is doing OK. He's happy and chasing bunnies and squirrels.
Seriously?? Did you really find it necessary to bring New York values into this? You really are a classless person.
Maybe more than 1 EKG. Probably one Echo.
I read that as a literary device.
It's a bit frightening, but I think Obamacare and the future of advanced cancer medicines are in opposition to each other. Government healthcare doesn't want to pay for targeted therapies, IMRT and immuno-oncology.
Sounds like the VA. . .

Long story but shows just how incompetent, uncaring, unprofessional and downright cruel VA hospitals, especially the Long Beach VA hospital, can be.
