Wow, Thanks

They always have a yearly on-site visit from the mammogram bus, so…last week at ASCO the Plant Nurse had some representatives from a local hospital come in and offer PSA testing for us guys.

I had it done about 5 months ago at my annual visit to my Urologist, but to help support the cause I signed up to do it again at work. At nine bucks for my participation, I figure it is cheap insurance that they keep the program going next year by having plenty of takers.

My results came in the mail today. At the bottom of the sheet was the following note:

Heterophilic antibodies in human serum can react with reagent immunoglobins, interfering with in vitro immunoassays.

I’m not a doctor, so I don’t know the exact meaning of several of those words. I’m not a lawyer, but I bet I do know the exact meaning of that note – In no way can you blame us if the test results aren’t accurate.

Wow, thanks for doing the test for me.
