Not to be grim about it but everyone may want to consider doing your paperwork for medical power of attorney and/or a health directive. At the very least partners should consider adding each other as trusted "https://healthy.kaiserpermanente.org/health-wellness/life-care-plan/choose-agent" (which is what Kaiser calls it). You'd be able to access tests and communicate with Doctors on behalf of each other.

Having gone through this I feel very fortunate that I was able to make medical decisions for another and knew what the right thing was to do.





 

Trying to talk sense into my 84 year old father in law, who has a number of health issues...

"I lived through the real bad polio epidemic, and in our small circle of friends there 5 cases and one close friend died. We do not know one person with virus! This said I'll still be very careful."

 

Signal boost for http://go/secondopinion

I requested a 2nd opinion yesterday around 2pm, received form at 4pm, sent it in at 5pm, was called within 15 minutes to go over details.

<24h later a specialist doctor called us to discuss the case and started the process to get all the data needed for a diagnostic review.

Crazy good.  Highly recommended.

Someone needs to add a link to

https://sites.google.com/a/google.com/us-benefits/health-wellness

so this is more discoverable....

Google Health...  For dogs

Just had to deal with medical records for my dog's chemo treatments.  Very suboptimal.  I was able to get PDFs (instead of fax) and some digital x-rays.

However to make sense of this I had to manually plug in blood test results into a sheet.  Each of these data points had differing error-ranges. etc.

There's a long history of animal based science being applied to humans.  If we could solve the Vet problem we could move on to Humans.....









 

Tired of being asked to check-in to "West Oakland Mental Health" instead of the Parking Lot to pick up the Google Shuttle.  Used Mapmaker to edit, but am seeing the bug described in here:
