Cholesterol is more fashionable, and more easily blamed on a person's habits.
This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

I just had blood work done yesterday, and lipid panel are not cheap (that's the one they use for cholesterol, right?). Although I'm not sure how that would benefit your doctor's practice, unless the lab is part of the same entity.

My doctor does want me back in soon to do bloodwork, but only if I've lost weight to see if that has an effect on my numbers. I predict it will not because it's not like healthy eating and exercise has really moved the needle, HAS IT, MR. DOCTOR MAN.

not your mom's socks.
I just got high-normal total cholesterol tests back, with normal LDL and they want me to do another test in three months. Which? UM NO NOT REALLY GOOD IDEA.
This feels like a trend. Not a nice one.

I stand with you in solidarity. Let us have eggs and bacon to celebrate!
t edit Dang, that does sound good. Why is there no bacon in this house? Maybe I'll make an egg sandwich for lunch.

I was not told to return for new labs. But I went and used up my health insurance in other ways.
Also, I think I ate so many cookies on vacation my pants don't fit. I put some on to go get coffee and they barely buttoned. And when I got bak home I had to put on inside pants. Eek. Guess that "figure out a healthy eating plan after vacation" idea really needs to happen.

Mmm, hard to spell cookies. I don't even know what they are, but that so doesn't matter.
Although I'm not sure how that would benefit your doctor's practice, unless the lab is part of the same entity.
It's some kind of deal, like, when your doctor bills your insurance they can put down interpreting lab results for guaranteed $X and it doesn't take them very long so it's more efficient earning for the practice than, for instance, seeing patients. Along those lines.
