I am NOT asking for medical advice...
Remember, this is not a medical advice thread. I am simply asking for your general opinion, and perhaps a complete diagnosis/prognosis based on my following blood lab work. I'm trying to save a few bucks by not having to review these results with a doctor. I know that there are a lot of smart people in the lounge that can help me. REMEMBER....THIS IS NOT A MEDICAL ADVICE THREAD...SIMPLY LOOKING FOR OPINIONS. Thank you so very much.

6. They don't have carrots at the dollar store...
In addition to trying to avoid another co-pay, I am now buying all my food at the dollar store.

My fucking credit card company just increased my rate to 84.7%.

Fuckers.

12. Your osmolality is a little high.
I don't know that for a fact, but "osmolality" sounds like the kind of thing that if I had 281 of it, I would have about 281 more than I should.

15. Sounds soothing.
I don't know, I'm not a doctor or a hypnotherapist or anything like that but "muted reverberation" sounds like it could cure an amputated pinky toe.

16. They say that someday, humans will not have pinky toes...
....they will evolve right off us. That's why they tend to turn sideways.

20. Did you know
That a not really medical rule of thumb is if your AST is approximately twice that of your ALT, someone has been drinking a tad more than is good for them?

Not the case here I see. What's up with the sodium?

22. The total absence of alcohol is somewhat troubling to me.....
Perhaps a transfusion would be in order.

Also, apparently you have both red and white blood cells but apparently no blue blood cells. Puzzling....
