@inparadise …the bit of practical advice I’d offer is to print out the report of your CAC score if you’re thinking of traveling in the coming years. It’s a mistake to think every relevant piece of medical information will follow you to various physicians by virtue of there being electronic medical records containing it. If you have a lipid profile that’s aroused interest in the past, it’ll do so in the future and being able to demonstrate your outlier status in this context could save you a lot of wasted explanation.
I worked myself up into quite a lather getting “clearance” for my lapiplasty now I’m suddenly “high risk”…checking and double checking that it"d reached the right place. As I left yesterday morning I wondered if I ought to take a hard copy with me but decided not to in case I looked a bit OCD. You can guess where this is going, right. No one could find it. Neither the orthopod or anesthesiologist were getting worked up but the mid level “box checkers” certainly were. In the end, dh had to offer a few suggestions on how to navigate to the right place and it was located quite literally as I was being wheeled into the OR…found in a cyber equivalent of “slipped down the back of a desk”!
