Women it's mammograms and yearly pap smears If done in the doctor’s room, the medical aid would most likely cover it. Obviously it depends on the cover, but mine is covered for someone on a plan that is network-specific. The doc putting me to sleep might not be covered fully. I need to ask.

I didn't expect my disco coastal core to help at all but they paid for it using some checkup benefit offered with surplus funds after pandemic which was a bonus. I wasn't given a general anaesthetic but the doc did say he likes to use a heavy hand with the tranqs. Apparently my colon is a healthy well perfused pink which I would never have said given what happens in a porta potty after a cortado waiting for some race to start. Maybe you can ask him to pour you a double when administering the cocktail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next on my list is the dermatologist. Cardiac is important even if you think you are fit and strong like I did. I was shocked to find out that I have a 5cm root Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm. Diagnosed by shear chance. Mamil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
