Kaiser Hospital

is amazing. This morning I went in for blood work to check my Cholesterol, and various serum levels.
By the time I got back home from grocery shopping my test results were already completed for me to view on line. Now that's fast service.
1. From what I can see, all is good. Serum levels all normal (my STD's came out neg too :)
2. My LDL is a bit up from last year, but still much lower than 2 yrs ago.
3. I never take my Cholesterol pills as I should. Either I would forget on weekends, or forget them when going out of town. My bad.
4. But in any case, since my levels are lower than 2 yrs ago, and then I was taking my pills like clockwork, I would assume the exercising and gym time I am putting in has helped this time, in spite of my missing dosages every so often. And I am eating better too.
5. If the National Health Care System worked like Kaiser, that might be a good thing.

Socialistic, communistic, nazi/Muslim, San Francisco health care! Tests from a real American doctor take six months to come back.

Congrats on your results, though, Karl Marx.

Thanks! LOL! Actually Kaiser Permamente as is Sutter Health, are pretty good. I think more impressive is their new age computer system. Kaiser Physicians, are paid salary, so whether they ave 100 patients per day, or 5, they get paid the same. So they do probably don't do unnecessary procedures, just for the buck, but they tend to be conservative, which is bad and good I guess. But then again, they may not quick at responding. And for once, my Doc supports stuff like Acupuncture, Chiropractic Care (Get a discount if with Kaiser). Some other docs, real American Doc, still don't support this at all :(.
One thing I do know, it's no fun getting old. :(
