hypochondriac vs cautious

Good morning. Now, how much is too much information on this blog? If you want to know just all about me, then I'll be happy to tell you that I'm off to get an uncomfortable medical procedure done. It’s a screening test...to rule out any cancer or whatnot. Now, what I get irritated on is how doctors scare you into thinking you have something, then you are on to WebMD to find out if you are dying. My friends call me a hypochondriac, but I find it necessary to be screened or get checkups. After all, prevention is key. Or maybe it’s the medical student syndrome....you know, where you think you have all the diseases you are studying? I currently am suspecting 5 right now....and after all my check-ups...none of them are right. :-)  But on my exams though, I remember the information so my grades are benefited by my hypochondriac mind.

In other sad news, Sen.Ted Kennedy has passed away after fighting a long battle with brain cancer. RIP. You never know when anything will hit you, hence, keep going to your doctors, get those check-ups and if you are like me and hate insurance companies and co-pays....in the end it will be worth it. So I’m off now to the doctors....will put on a embarrassing paper gown, and see what happens.(fingers crossed)
