Life Line Screening

[Barbara Stewart]

Has anyone heard of them? It's an outfit where the patient can go without needing to see a doc to have ultrasound screenings. There are 3 vascular and one for osteoporosis. One of the vascular screens for an abdominal aortic
aneurysms. As some of you might remember, I have bowel issues and I was wondering if it would be a good idea for me to have one of these. What do y'all think? Anyone had one of these? Oh yeah, what is the abdominal aortic? Is it in the heart?
Thanks,
Barbara

PS, is this the right thread? Ross, I'm sure you'll make sure it's in the right place.

My husband went for the screening. Very eazy, non invasive. He was fine. I was aware of this becaue I have one. It is not in the heart. It is in the abdomen. Google AAA and you will see pictures and diagrams of aaa. Good luck.

Carol,

The original post was from 2006. I hope they have had their screening by now.
