Ultrasound screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm

I had one four years ago. Kaiser charged me $50. It tears on you, forgeddaboutit! If they find it looks weak, they can sometimes fix it.

Thanks for that, it is what my father passed away from....
I'll be 60 next year and smoked so I'll be getting the screening.
