succumbing to peer pressure

Tuesday, June 07, 2005

Fuck. As if I needed something else to stress out about. I went in for my annual check-up in January and everything, supposedly, was normal. Well, I just got what looks like a bill in the mail and it says "Limited Service - New Problem Thin Prep/Pap." What the fuck does that mean?! And why is this arriving 5 months later?!

The thin prep pap smear is an alternative option to the conventional pap. Studies reported to date generally show a somewhat increased detection of cellular abnormalities with the thin prep pap smear over the conventional pap smear. This potentially lowers the false negative risk of your pap test. However, in some cases the conventional pap smear may actually make the detection of abnormalities easier to identify. One benefit of the thin prep pap smear is your clinician's ability to order "reflex" viral testing (HPV hybrid capture) if your pap smear shows certain abnormal changes. The lab then automatically runs this additional test on the original sample, saving you a return visit. Some, but not all, insurances pay for the thin prep pap.

Who is this non-spelling fucker? It's either someone you know pretending to be a moron so as to infiltrate your sphere and then steal your precious V, or it's someone who searched far and wide to find a blog where his idiotic cell-phonisms could finally stand out against a backdrop of intelligence, and be commented upon by people with heads on.
