Loopy Loop

The timing of my current healthcare experience is a masterclass in recursive absurdity. My latest blood work is in—visible to me online on Health Gateway—and the results are clear: acute inflammation, anemia of chronic disease, and liver and pancreatic markers that are under significant stress. Since I’m negative for COVID, Flu, and RSV, it’s safe to say this isn’t a viral infection—it’s just the cancer being itself.

I called the provincial oncology nurse for guidance, and she suggested I contact my family doctor so he can "decide" on the next steps. When I noted that a GP can't possibly grasp the full cancer context, her solution was that he could then refer me back to the oncologist.

It’s a perfect, circular referral loop. Judging by the AI’s interpretation of these numbers, I may well die before I even get to my CT scan in 2 weeks.
