Dear House

I need help on the kind of tests that should be done by a 60 plus couple who have not really being into such

1. Recommended Tests for the man
2. Recommended Tests for the woman
3. Recommended lab or labs

Thanks in advance

Medical tests or "gym tests".. Because you wrote full body work.

For full medical examination, a reputable hospital can do. If they have the means, St Nicholas will do.

For middle and lower class, not too expensive hospital will suffice.

LOL.. you are right.. i thought the term body work may be very confusing

I had St Nicholas in mind but also thought there may be less expensive lab/hospitals

Key for me is which tests should be done so as to give them an idea of their health make up

They need a comprehensive check and not selective. They are old and have not done anything like it before. Let them do a general and comprehensive check. The doctor of any hospital they settle to use will advice.

In that case, which other hospital do you recommend

Is money a barrier? Is any of dem sick? Or is it just to ascertain general well being. Well, i think d following tests are of essence.

1.Full blood count+ESR
2.Liver function test
3.Kidney fxn test(S/e/u/cr)
4. PSA(for d man)
5.mammogram(for d woman)
6.pap smeat(for d woman)
7.fundoscopy(phy exam)
8.Dental check.

Thanks so much

They are not sick.. the purpose is for general well being

You can do a comprehensoive medical exam for a reasonabke cost at [url=uniondiagnostic.com.ng]Union Diagnostic[/url]. They have offices in Tejuosho and VI.

You're probably better off seeing a doctor and doing just the tests that are relevant to your complaint instead of going on a fishing expedition. Doing tests is not like seeing a babalowo. Its more likely to lead to pointless and unnecessary treatments tban solve your problem. Everybody has one or more things in their body that is different from "the norm",. Just because yours is different doesnt mean its worth pursuing ezpecially if you dont have any symptoms relatable to that result.

One of the first things I learnt in medical school is "you dont treat a lab result, you treat the patient".

tx bro...
