Om,
Today I went in for fasting bloodwork. I didn't get the Hemoglobin A1C
test as you suggested, rather just a glucose test.
I was pretty ****ed off about that. I said "but it's a more accurate
test."
They took an extra tube of blood and told me to call my doc. Well... I
called and he said there's no sign of high glucose levels (from last
year) AND he had the nerve to say that it's expensive (as if that was
more of his concern).
I just said fine and they hung up on me. Penn Care Assoc draws the lines
at this clinic and I'm damned fuming about it.
Am I wrong in my anger?
Andy
