I still believe Kaiser Permanente has the best doctors, and offers the best health care coverage of any health care organization.
How many other emergency room doctors, do you think, would bother to call a patient at home in the evening, after receiving notification of an elevated white blood cell count, to make sure that person was feeling ok?
Well at Kaiser they do, and this wasn't the first time.
This was at least the third time, I've received a call from an ER doctor checking up on me. It seems every time I have my blood checked late in the day (which occurred yesterday), after all the doctors in the office are long gone, I get a call checking up on me.
While that may seem like a little thing to some, and I wouldn't have thought any less of Kaiser or the ER doctor, had the doctor not called, it is comforting to know someone actually cares about their job and their patients. You don't find that too often any more in todays hectic, "it's all about me" world.
Anywaze, I was happy to find out my lymphocyte count had dropped below 100 thou/cumm to 99 thou/cumm, after jumping to 106 thou/cumm last month. I still don't consider that very significant, since at these levels variations in results can be extreme.
The good news is I'm still feeling fine. I do have a few issues, but nothing I am too concerned about just yet, and probably no more then most other people.

Not totally happy with the background, but until I come up with a better one, it will have to do.
