I had my annual medical exam this week. "exam" is perhaps an inaccurate term. My "exam" was by phone. Kaiser has an app that you download and it brings up a chat with you and your doctor (my doctor is always late when I see her in the office, and she was 20 minutes late to the video exam too!)
I started out giving her my blood sugar and blood pressure readings, and current weight (which, to my surprise, is 20 lbs lighter than a year ago. She asked a few questions and Ned had a question to ask her, and then she told me to go to the lab for tests and to get an eye exam and that was it.
Not exactly what I expect of an annual "exam." But then there really is nothing different that I feel about me than my last exam (which was also by phone).
I'm glad Ned was able to sit in on the exam. My doctor is from Bangladesh and has a heavy accent which I have a hard time understanding sometimes. Having a face mask on didn't help! But Ned is able to translate for me.
