Working in a refinery, you are constantly exposed with demanding work challenge, not to mention hazardous substances. Also, all the stress in work will make you eat whatever it is and ended up regretting it, huhu. That is why it is an obligation to all staffs to undergo annual medical checkup. Nothing rocket science; just some physical checks (BP, eyesight, hearing) and some blood work. Well, I have done mine about 2 weeks ago, and I have received my report.
Here are some findings on my health based on the report:
1) My blood type is A Positive
2) My total RBC (red blood cell count) is 6.3
3) My MCV is on a lower side (which according to the Internet, means that I have a lower than average red blood cell size
4) My hemoglobin amount per red blood cell is also lower than average
5) Result for uric acid is within range
6) HDL Cholestrol is 1.2 (OK, I guess)
7) LDL Cholestrol (Haha, now this is a concern). Basically LDL cholestrol is also known as the bad cholestrol. My LDL result is 3.2, against the optimal range of less then 2.6. I kinda expect this, since I happen to eat lots of fast foods..Haiyooo, have to cut some maaa
8) And lastly blood glucose; 5.6. Normal. Yeayy!
Well, I may have to refer to my brother on this. I'm not a doctor, so I don't exactly know what these numbers mean (especially the hemoglobin, MCV thingy).
Owhh before I forgot, my BP was OK, but my left eyesight is not performing very well. I got 6/6 for my right eye, but I only got 6/8 for my left eye...
Let's just hope that I will not start wearing contacts or glasses anytime soon...I don't want to look like a nerd!
