Either U.S. doctors are waaaaay too optimistic when it comes to trusting men in their 20s to stay healthy or I look too healthy for my own good... So while I was in Beijing, my dad and I had this conversation about staying healthy during my 20s to ensure pain-free life during the later years (Not that I know for sure that I want to live for a long long time, but I digress...) So when I got back from my break I scheduled a physical check up with a doctor thinking that I'll get a.... you know... a physical checkup in the traditional sense... like the one where you get your blood tested, urine sample tested, etc... Well, all I got was my blood pressure measured, my body weighed, and the doctor did a couple more checks where she listened to my lungs and looked inside my mouth... then, *voila*... I was done... -.-;; I mean, when I was making the appointment the nurse even asked me if it would be ok for me to see a female doctor. My god, I sure felt violated after revealing my private blood pressure to that female doctor... -.-;; Frustated and curious I asked her if she was goona ask me to come back for more tests, but she told me that there were no reasons for any further testing to be done given my age. She even insisted that I do not worry since I look like I'm staying healthy and my family doesn't have a serious medical history. This really bothered me... I mean, seriously... Even to the point where I later called back and complained to the doctor demanding at least a blood test. How can you assume I'm healthy cuz I'm in my 20s and I appear to be ok???? What if I'm not eating right and I should really adjust my diet??? It just doesn't make sense to me... After 20 minutes on the phone the doctor gave in and told me to come back for a blood test.

So today I returned for that friggin blood test I so badly wanted only to find out that my insurance will not pay for it given my age and my immediate family's medical history... So basically all it boils down to is whether I'm willing to pay for the check up... I get it now... I might as well wait untill I visit Corea to get a real physical check up if I'm gonna pay for it.... Sheesh... This thing called health insurance sure doesn't seem to be insuring my health... Man, I'm gonna sue the hospital if I find out anything's wrong with me then. Watch out!!! Grrr....

Well not that it really adds to the subject of staying healthy, but I did cook myself a new dish today. Curious to find out what it was? ^^ Heh heh... Well, so I went to pick up my prescription at the Giant Eagle pharmacy and when I got there this vivid image of rice topped with a tuna omlet popped into my head. I know... Pretty random, right? At any rate, that inspired me to quickly get my hands on a dozen eggs and a couple cans of tuna in spring water. ^^

Ok, now you have to realize something... This may not seem like a big deal to you, but it is to me... Since I'm really clueless when it comes to cooking I try to stick with just a limited number of dishes on my menu... I do cook, but I don't really have a long list of dishes that I can cook cuz adding one more dish to the list takes a lot of effort. Yeah, you better recognize!!! :P Heh heh... At any rate, with the assistance of cubbie over MSN messenger I was able to make myself something similar to what I was hoping to cook... ^^;; I guess I would have to call the dish "Instant curry rice topped with an overly salty and involuntarily scrambled tuna omlet". ^0^ Hey, I know it doesn't look great, but it tasted... uhm... better than it looks... Ok, ok... It was a bit too salty, which is a mistake I won't make the next time I make this. It was nice to throw in a curve ball into the menu, and that's what matters. ;)

dang, my doctor gets a blood test done on me everytime i have a check-up (the basics like cholesterol, etc.). it gets covered in my health insurance as well. maybe you can lie about how you feel so they'll take more interest in your health. be like "oh man my stomache tastes like bleeding..." or something of that sort.
