Seriously. I was getting ready to discard what appeared to be junk mail-a letter from blue cross with the bulk mail stamp that I almost chucked in the can. But something told me to open it....
In it was a message from the president of the company noting that a review of my claims history indicated that I has not yet taken the advantage of their coverage for cancer diagnostic testing and that I should schedule my pap smear and mammogram.
I don't think so scooter. I'm drawing the line in the sand here.

I can't believe they didn't remind you to also schedule your mammogram.

Class III

They sent you the wrong letter. They need a lawyer to observe those procedures to make sure they are doing them right at the Blue Cross Clinic for Obese Women, on the bayou, of course.

Are you saying I wasn't supposed to let them do that? I should check the forum more often.

C'mon Caj. Just suck it up and do it.

With all these colonoscopy threads going around lately, a mammogram should be a walk in the park.

Isn't that your doctors job?

Find a new one

Maybe they know something you don't?

Now that's a funny response. You can't suck it up there. You can only push out.

Many years ago I was being treated at Boston City Hospital for an on the job injury. This entailed going to one of the clinics now and again for follow up. Clinics = wait. To pass the time I thumbed through my chart which someone had helpfully left in the room with me. In it was my pre employment physical (passed), a couple of notes on previous visits for this or that, and the record of my current injury. Also in the folder was a negative pregnancy test.

I pointed that out to the doctor who came in to see me. His response was that it was no big deal "Stuff like that happens all the time. They don't hire the smartest people to work in medical records."

Very reassuring.

That was the last time I was treated at Boston City Hospital.

You aren't in the medical field, are you? If you were, you'd know that people do all sorts of weird things with their nether regions.

Geez, caj, don't be so one-way! ...and you can
post the vid right here. We'd Never tell anyone..honest!

HUMMMMM!
I do know that men die of breast cancer.
I also know that men die.
I don't know about a pap smear but a Pabst used to be a good beer.
I am thinking it is a "sign" and you may actually be a woman---maybe you should check that out. Now it don't mean nothing if you has been wrong all these years---let that part go and do the right thing.
I think, personally, that you will find you have been a man all along and I might consult with a lawyer about a defimation of character law suit-----now don't do this on your own---a lawyer who has hisownself as a client thing--you know.
Anywho-----it's your call.
Blessings

I remember looking at an x-ray, at work, 30 years ago (this was before Hippa).
I worked in the Maintenance department, and was changing out the overhead
lights. A claims 'specialist' called me over to see 'something unusual'. There was
a little coke bottle, in an inappropriate place, inside a male human. Propriety
prevents me from saying where it was.

We'd probably get banned if we discussed this further!

The back story was something like he was painting his kitchen naked because he didn't want to ruin his clothes and when he took a break, he sat down...

I've heard that story before.

I do not know the 'cause', but I saw the 'effect'.
