HeartScreeningMinuteClinicsVoucher2019

from

SituationalAssessmentTemplate2017

 


 

Introduction/Definition/etc

 

Heart Month with association(s)

and was emailed a voucher

for a free screening including:

A1C

BP

Weight

BMI

Lipids

LDL/HDL & ratio

and what the process was like,

for me...

 

 

Body

 

Original Text

 

So through the ExtraBucks/

customer card at CVSConspiracy2017

but really probably a business within

a business (think coffee shop in large

department store...)

and signed up for emails,

actually read one carefully, follow the links,

and drilling down, to a PDF file,

read that carefully,

show by smartphone

(download) instead of printing

(no ink, $$$$)

Only works at MinuteClinics

and they are inside CVS

some in Target stores,

and not close to 24 hour,

(some with evening hours, afaict)

even if the host store is, normal business type

hours, maybe 7 am store opens,

8.30 am MinuteClinic start,

or 9.00 am depending

sign in procedure without printout says to

show to the person,

but which one?

clerk of pharmacy store?

or person providing service

(a chicken and egg problem, which is first?)?

but have to do something to get to that point

the Point of Sale touchscreen device

handling appointments,

call in options, not for me,

has an odd arrow to go to next page,

not select answer and live,

to continue on,

and wanted a lot of information,

type of appointment

physical

(some billing info

for the provider

on the voucher said that)

number of people appointment is for,

is it you?, self? (self parenting may have

helped for pedatrition (sp?) only,

Name, Address, BirthDate

method of payment: no insurance,

eventually to sign (type name to sign)

and permission to contact: generally no,

phone, email,

marketing: No

survey: yes,

and by what means, etc...

reading on the screen difficult, and annoying

sign, and no copies of what you are reading,

read this in the waiting time,

decide if you really want to assume so

much risks/ liability, exclusions, etc

besides going on your permanent record/

health records, both good and bad,

follow you, and adding to the records,

getting copies after the fact,

electronically mailed to you,

paper forms disappear over time,

pharmacies and doctors, increasingly

work for insurers, and Big Pharm

more than the patients

etc...

 

One guy waiting a little past opening time,

turns out he is doing the same thing,

and she is learning the process,

i can put my mbility aid behind the door,

which blocks the AED (automatic E:_emergency?

device/defibrulator) and doesn't fit,

hanging out and the tax sales boxes display

is in the way of taht,

the point of sale entry touchscreen and a door,

all in some of them where a separate office

would fit, no windows, signs, etc,

some modified stores have them, most don't

some renovate to make room, afaict,

privacy lacking, afaict, a big waiting

area,

i have to ask to use a bathroom,

wait time about 30 minutes,

my appointment is going to be

about that long, and an older guy shows

up with a book, i'm talkative,

(overly, and even i notice it,

guy behind me on entry,

warming up, some laughing staff

spraying people,

oxygen cleaning process,

blow off excess tank filling O2,

helium balloon filling Nitrous,

recently sprayed for bugs,

love juice Muslim targeting,

MJ like cannibis THC vapes,

all to be avoided, checked,

ruled out, etc)

but he wants to read his book,

about a border wall, and old,

we are still dealing with that

and Trump, something happening

recently besides ParkLand anniversary,

and more shootings...

 

Lots of talking  I'm still calming down,

I dropped the phone in the toilet,

there is no soap in the staff

bathroom, had to go by an

Employee Only Alarms Sound sign

to get there, not the break room,

only one bathroom, clean enough,

I guess, i don't usually put my hand in the toilet,

water seemed clean, but hand dryer

blow out the water, dry it quickly

it was on, and turns out it works,

i guess the sealing/ water resistance

not mentioned in packaging

nor reviewed in

TCLLXA502DL2018

not getting to the battery

vs not destroyed by liquid,

i had dropped it in the sink

into a bowl with water,

and survived that, not surprised

it still worked, glad,

but more on that, eventually...

 

The smartphone device had my

voucher/ coupon,

a fasting test

for lipids, so 12 hours of not eating,

skip breakfast, late night eating,

and first thing in the morning,

carry food, but not anything they

would sell, only Thursdays,

in February with Voucher,

and needed t o do it,

turned out to be Valentine's Day,

VD day sometime call it,

mostly,

 

Diabetes, turns out A1C

was fine, but risks for

heart, despite losing weigh,

exercise, and probably

code out like James Fixx,

the running author guy

from the 1970's

despite lifestyle changes,

in the face of epidemialogical (sp?)

longitudinal studies Framingham?

where a town was studied for decades,

for risk factors, genetics, etc...

 

Odd stuff about getting prison uniforms

for an art project,

from my old job comment,

really unrelated, and leading to discriminatory,

stereotypes, (like all women have abortions)

and upon exit a big authoritarian guy

coming at me,

as i was leaving didn't yield in the isle,

for me to exit

a makeup a wider one,

but something bad happening,

someone trying to interject into the

appointment/ conversation,

in a private room, door closed,

some odd switch us delays

(learned how on the first guy)

supposedly private and HIPAA

more like separate from belongings,

find a way to charge, see if

started on the wrong person,

had to open up my phone several time

(3+) hitting buttons, screen saver,

and not wanting to,

some other oddities,

and a feeling of being too far up,

sprayed? laughing staff guy,

with scanner device,

scan a code/ barcode on paper,

some two step sign in process,

later paperwork showed expenses

for test, and patient part, iirc)

take away, but needed to send to

primary care physician,

they could not send to mine,

though not current

claimed he was a pediatrition (sp?),

ONLY. and could not,

 

glad to get there,

relatively little hassle about the mobility,

but also being set up,

and normal craziness following,

Valentine's Day, people buying

last minute for that, as the pharmacy

in the back opened up,

and on to other things,

it took longer, and made me late

for something, but not a lot,

just rushing out,

and some hassling/

attempts at falsely charged

with something, in a ritzy/

stuck up/ hateful part of town,

typical, and why i don't do some

things around there much anymore,

exlusiveity costs, imnsho...

 

Modified Text

 

What's Missing?

 

What Can Be Found?

 

What Can Not Be Found?

 

How To Analyze?

 

Lenses

 

Assumptions

 

People care

(inmho,

largely False in corporate environments)

 

Non profits, even healthcare, are ethical

(likely profit/ stay in business,

and heart and other health associations

much less medical systems

are funded, mostly be Pharm afaict...

 

Health values relate to risk,

which are statistical,

and Statistics Lie,or formally

How to Lie with Statistics,

(see book, for profit)

 

Diet and exercise are recommended

for many things,

but you can still die,

James Fixx like,

exercising, and i don't even smoke,

drink, etc, though my food,

etc GoodFoodie/BadFoodie ratio

may be questionable...

(Chocolates on that VD day,

not accepted)

 

 

 

Time Limits

 

Only in February

Only on Thursdays,

only at MinuteClinics

not just any CVS,

and other Restrictions/

fine print,

with Voucher,

so have to be a bonus

card, email offers person, etc

and other problems,

scheduling, appointments,

160 min wait with two of us

there, after his appointment set,

a longer appointment, i guess

times are rationed?

and can i leave to go shop

elsewhere? visit my car,

will they call me, when ready,

etc, all Not an option, afaict,

on the automated version,

but less snobbish machine,

than some typical

waiting areas,

presales FUD for pharm likely...

 

Links

 

Non transferable, not photo copies,

etc, so the pdf not going up here,

but some of the text might,

exclusions, fine print, etc...

 

Statins

 

Pharm

v. Pharm

 

CVSConspiracy2017

 

TCLLXA502DL2018

 

Hate2017

 

RetailDiscrimination2012

 

FortheLoveofScottbyJoHamilton2012

 

and many more...

(do some foot/legwork,

homework/ research, checking,

yourselves)...

 

James (Fuller?) Fixx

Framingham Study

Lipids

 

Conclusion

 

Summary of experience or similar

 

Got some numbers,

some difference in weight,

and not taken shoes off,

(she, an overweight person herself,

allows an agreed upon weight

discussed between,

but 190 still seemed high to me,

BMI from Higi (competing companies)

got down into healthy, but recent

snow, and other bad weather,

plus HamiltonBeachBreadMaker2019

Breads2019

etc may have increased,

besides typical higher amounts of

clothing, heavier with the colder weather,

can only take off so much in public,

 

 

have to weigh what i normally carry

around, (keys, devices,

write down the clothes worn,

especially relatively heavy boots/shoes,

etc)

food scale, or bathroom scale

early am weighing, naked,

before shower, and maybe add that

to my routine, glasses and seeing

the scale at my feet, batteries,

logging with BlueTooth on newer devices,

etc to be considered, later...

 

Presales and problems with screenings

still exist, preexisting conditions, who all

gets the information, not anonymous

like some STD screenings,

and privacy of the store,

as opposed to a doctors office,

just about anyone can walk in,

and some problems likely did,

separating from stuff

("it's a small office"),

typical, but other issues,

not believing much of what i said,

likely called authorities,

and discrimination

typical of CVSConspiracy2017

not that they are the only ones that do it,

RetailDiscrimination2012

and many other instances

Hate2017

etc. abound...

 

Free visits have tricks,

many which are likely on this,

including who is paying,

statin (Liptor (tm elsewhere), etc)

generally over prescribing,

an NP (Nurse Practitioner)

can write scripts

for somethings (minor, not Class x,y,z?),

and the industry/ direct marketing to

patients, consumers, uninformed,

fully consenting adults, much less

kids, are still large issues...

 

 

 

 

Discussion

 

A place for feedback on the page presented

 

What are your numbers?

A1C?

LDL

HDL

ratio?

Weight

Height?

BMI

etc?

 

What discrimination have you encountered?

 

Is a free test/screening worth

the risks of being (Falsely) charged with

anything by haters?

 

What can you do to prevent that?

For yourself?

For others?
