Recieved a pamphlet in today's mail for several different types of vascular screenings one can take advantage of. This one caught my eye: "Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening ($45 ) Visualizes the existence of an aneurysm in the abdominal aorta that could lead to a ruptured artery. Procedure: The technologist applies an acoustic gel on the abdomen and uses a tranducer (painless) to visualize the aorta." I thought it was interesting. I had no idea there was a screen available for this for this generally symptom-less condition. Wish Gordon could have had it done.
