I was subjected to my Medicare "annual wellness" exam last week. (Mostly questions to test you for cognitive decline so they can call Adult Protective Services and have you evicted from your home.) One test I had to draw an analog clock face and then the hands showing 10 minutes past 10. I wonder how long until everybody fails that test because they were never taught to read an analog clock?
I asked about it once, but they said you can't discuss your 'issues' at that time, it's not that kind of appt. I'd have to make a separate appt to discuss my thyroid. Never mind. Now I'm glad I never gave medicare that much info.

Not sure most docs know the answer anyway!
