So because I had the heart attacks and stents put in I have to be proactive about any weird symptoms that pop up. The problem is does that mean waiting to see a primary or going to the hospital right away which are way different cost and timewise. Since the two main tests I wanted were to check BNP and Troponin I went looking for a machine that could do it and found one. The great thing is it's whole blood testing so I don't need a centrifuge to spin it and the time is only 15 minutes for a result. So if they showed raised numbers I'd know I have to go in but if not I could wait and just see a primary doctor. The other was a 12 led ekg to see how the heart was acting. The crazy thing I keep running into is every provider of medical equipment needs a ton of documentation for it. I didn't expect that. If it were medications/drugs sure I could see why but for testing equipment?
