Flu shot today. Not swine flu – I’m not an endangered species. No lines, almost no waiting, no hassle. And probably no results.
“You haven’t had a shot for 4 years,” the nurse says, as I roll down my sleeve. “It’s nice to know someone cares,” I respond, wishing they’d also check up on me when I really need them. I took blood tests this morning and realized only as they were drawing blood that they weren’t taking enough – that the doctor hadn’t noted a few of the repeat tests that had gone awry last month. That means I’ll have to be stabbed again next week. How come they can note when I got my flu shot but not if they need to find out if I’m still infected?
Unlike most sane people I actually want all my records on file. Even when I say stupid things that turn out to be wrong, I’d rather have them said then not.
