Comparing living in France to England is very common topic of converstaion, and one of the most popular subjects is the health service.
Having reached the ripe old age of 50 I am offered a colon cancer test.
So, an appointment at the doctor is necessary to collect the paper work!
At this time my Doctor asked when I last had my cholesterol checked - here is part of the conversation -
"two years ago" I replied.
"What! 2 years, well we had better check that again, what about Blood pressure? - let me check that - perfect - heart - let me listen - did you know you have a heart murmer?"
"no" I replied - "skin specialist?" - "two years ago also - ok best see her again too!"
So here is the blood test - I hope to survive to continue to tell my tayls!
It does confirm though the pro active approach of our French Doctor to get everything checked out hopefully before I hit the slippery slope rather than when I am half way down it!
