My first health screening

CCW has been talking about health screening quite sometimes ago, finally the 5 of us (CPH, Winnie, Ben, CCW and I) accompanied each other to go into the lab together.

We took up the package advertised in the newspaper: Pathlab 18KS Health Screen (41 tests) + Helicobacter pylori + C-reactive Protein at RM120! I am not sure what is the original price for the package but since it comprises tests on haematology, renal function, diabetes screening, thyroid profile, liver function, lipid profile, tumour marker, infectious diseases, serology and urinalysis, it should be quite complete for us, the first-timer to have a general health check.

After registration, I volunteered to become the first one to do the blood extraction.

Me: Please be gentle!


There, she extracted 3 tubes of my precious blood. Luckily, she only pokes me once whereas ccw got it twice! ;p


Now, the results from the tests show that I am not as healthy as I thought. ;p

My LDL Cholesterol falls out of the healthy range and exceeds by 0.1. With that, I believe that I will not be seeing any prawns and crabs on the dining table for the next few months until my mama has gradually forgotten about it.

Hopefully, I got better results next round, which could be years later from now.
