Appointment for a health screen this morning. Been almost 3 years since my last screen and wonder what else will show up that beckons attention. For one my uric acid levels and cholesterol needs check. While some are concious about looking after their health and well being, there are some that have a deathwish. I had a close encounter with one of those this morning on my way to the medical centre.
This chap took a sharp corner using the opposing traffic lane, and I happened to be the opposing traffic. Unfortunate that he did not get his deathwish as I was going very slow and stopped in time as he slammed his brakes and try to retain control of his bike. He must have changed his mind about the deathwish when he saw that my car was not big nor fast enough to grant him anything more scrapes and bruises. Nonetheless, I was thankful he did not modify my car's shape in any way. As a souvenir for his folly, I rolled my car over his bike tyre when I was pulling away to show what can happen to an object under a car tyre. Stupid blighter and good riddance to him.

Dato' Dr. Sarvas is such as nice guy. There should be more doctors like him.
Medical report: Some fatty spotting around my liver but ok, heart is in good shape, kidney functioning ok, prostate gland ok, ultrasound scan ok. Chest X-ray not ready yet tho. Triglycerides level not good. Have to cut back on fried stuff. Uphill battle as almost everything here is fried. Uric acid level down but due to the medication I was put on earlier the week i.e. Zyloric 300mg prescribed by Dr. Kamala.
Note: Zyloric tablets contain the active ingredient allopurinol, which is a type of medicine called a xanthine oxidase inhibitor. (NB. Allopurinol tablets are also available without a brand name, ie as the generic medicine allopurinol.) Allopurinol is used to lower uric acid levels in the body.Uric acid is produced by an enzyme in the body called xanthine oxidase. Allopurinol inhibits the action of this enzyme and as a result lowers uric acid levels.
Dato' Dr. Sarvas advised to take it every other day as opposed to daily. According to him, tall people produce more uric acid than the average height person. That would explain why my uric acid levels are so high despite me not eating foods usually associated with gout.

Youngest princess turns 12 tomorrow but Birthday bash cum BBQ tonight. Which kid will have BBQ when there's pizza and lots of running around to do? Would have been fine with just a pizza party. Less hassle and cheaper.
