health, positive...? sort of?
Given that I'm suffering from kidney failure, I absolutely did not expect a doctor to ever tell me "your sodium level is too low, you should eat more salty things"
health, positive...? sort of?
Judging from said doctor's puzzled look, they did not expect it either

I genuinely have no idea how this could happen, I guess the salt restrictions assume neurotypical folks who cheat on the restrictions or something, and they're not designed to be actually followed to the letter??

Nice!
That might make sense; ideally they'll have tuned their directions to get the best results in the average case, so that will organically account for "just one slice of bacon will be okay on nom nom", but then in the rare case someone is actually compliant (good work, by the way! Diets are *hard*!) they'll need to adapt it.

@silvermoon82 I vividly remember asking "how can I tell when it's too low?" like a year ago, and the doctor responding "don't worry, that's really unlikely to happen"

@joepie91 this is awesome ❤️

I am once again impressed by the local hospital folks' problem-solving and administrative skills. They usually send me the lab form for blood tests by mail so that I can test at the local branch instead of the main location (which requires a train ride). But they forgot this time, and I *had* to get it done on Monday.
So I sent them an e-mail over the weekend while the department was already closed, asking if they could send me the lab form anyway, hoping that they'd figure out a fast-enough way, and pondering whether to opportunistically make a test appointment for Monday already even though I might not have a form to go with it.
I ended up doing that, but I needn't have worried; first thing this morning I got my lab form by e-mail, with the note "we've marked it urgent so that this time you can go do it without an appointment". Awesome. They'd apparently already foreseen this conundrum even though I didn't mention it to them.
