Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Just went in for a physical because DW was worried. Seems my BIL had a rupture of an abdominal aorta (The abdominal aorta ?). He got to hospital within about 20 minutes and has recovered for the most part.
Seems that the Tricare wants to do a lot of tests. Went to Walter Reed to get an ultrasound scan of the aorta, and also heart scan/EBCT (Electron beam computerized tomography). Only issue was I had to fast for 6 hours before the scan, no fluids, no water, no food. Very professional and quick.
Guess I'm wondering if others in early 60s have also been sent in for abdominal aortic scan ? Wondering how common it is as I've never heard of anyone having this done.
