..."the medical-care system is second to none in the world..."

“We Americans live in a nation where the medical-care system is second to none in the world, unless you count maybe 25 or 30 little scuzzball countries like Scotland that we could vaporize in seconds if we felt like it” - Dave Barry

Day 106

Good news on the surgeon front: her assistant called this morning to let me know that the surgeon is letting her "squeeze" me in as a "rescreen" vs. a new patient. She had me have the Oakland folks fax everything to her to plead my case for this and was successful. It's great working with people who know the system and are willing to help you navigate it, isn't it? :)

I'm retesting my kidney functions and sodium this afternoon (assuming I can make it out of the office by 4 PM as lab closes at 5). Fingers crossed!!
