The cycle came in!
Oh No! It isn't fitting!
Just try to move the handle from the front.
How did you use to keep it?
Bro I've kept this way two times when I went to repair...
So hello everyone!
Today we're going to the hospital, inspired through Kota Factory
to get our blood work done.
Because I myself have learned from season 2 that..
even if we have some problems inside we don't come to know
but through bloodwork you...
So today you will all go and do your test.
If you have any problem, start taking medicines.
So after watching Season 2 I realised that
many a times, you don't get to know even if you're face some problems inside.
Neither you feel tired, or even after sleeping for 8 hours
I mean you would feel fresh.
But who knows your body might be fighting for something inside...
which you'd get to know after doing your blood work done.
Not just for body building,
but still for my own knowledge.
Today I'm gonna do my blood work, first time in US.
So let's go!
And now we've come to Quest Diagnostics
because you should have a prescription everywhere in US
for a blood test!
But you don't need to have in Quest Diagnostics.
So this is gonna be the best.
And we're here at Emory Hospital.
Quest Diagnostics is under the Emory Hospital...
The checking is here too..
What's this?
Yes! No...
It's really wrong man!
I checked-in first, even the appointment
Still Apurv's name is on the top and mine second.
Unbelievable guys!
It's 610 dollars in total without insurance.
I think, food allergy is being too expensive I should remove it.
I don't think I've food allergy.. let's remove it.
It's enough for now!
Testosterone, B12, Vitamin D, Cholesterol all are present
Basic Health Profile, is it okay?
-Huh? -This is okay right?
-Yeah this is enough! -Yes okay.
Check out.
So, 600 dollars were definitely out of my budget
for simple blood work.
So then I returned home and I realized...
that if you don't have doctor's appointment that means
you want a blood work done!
But if you go with the doctor's appointment
you need a blood work done.
So the difference between needs and wants it doesn't cover your insurance.
So that's why I took a Doctor's appointment.
So waiting for the Doctor, I'm in the waiting room now!
So now, I'm really excited
it's gonna be on...
Nice to meet you too!
Yeah I'm doing well, Thank you!
Yeah alright...
So my apologies, I'm sorry I ran behind with another patient.
So when was the last?
Uh, in India like 4 years ago.
4 years ago so...
Why do you want those checked?
I want those checked because I think uh...
I may have Vitamin D deficiency
because when I was younger, I did have that...
So I wanted to check if I'm like...
getting better with that Vitamin D deficiency.
And also Vitamin B12 because
I don't eat fruits that often.
-So B12 yeah -Uh-Huh...
And Cholesterol
And Cholesterol because I think I've gain some fat.
So, it's Doctor's responsibility that
they don't charge you unnecessarily.
Because there are charges for Testosterone.
There are charges for all these blood tests.
Even though it is covered in insurance including me
but still it will obviously cost 10-15 dollars right?
I got charged for total of 25 dollars but they still wanted to be sure..
like why are you taking those tests!
Especially for Cholesterol and Testosterone I had to tell...
I mean in a different way.
At first I told honestly that, I think I've gain some fat!
I told honestly but
they were like, you don't look like you've gain fat!
Then I said, I think I've like 15% body fat.
I told honestly, and finally they agreed.
And again she asked, why you want to get Testosterone tested?
I told honestly that, I haven't done that test!
So I wanted to do that and it might be low so...
Then she asked, why it would be low?
I said that I don't know exactly I'm just guessing!
And then she started asking, are you sexually active or not?
What do you think is normal?
I had to explain each and every thing.
This one was like a bit of cringe and nervousness...
Like sharing these things with a lady Doctor.
But it all went well.
And then she sent her helpers to our house
...to get my blood taken.
Are you having any symptoms today?
So it's 97 it's perfect!
97 Oxygen, 83 Heart rate...
81 Heart rate okay!
-Were you sick today? -Uh no!
Sir he has fever!!
Cool, how high?
101 F
I'm not feeling sick at all...
Let's check the wrist..
97 F on wrist..
So like my neck, becomes warm because I was basking in the sun.
I was sitting in the sun for the last 30 minutes.
You can check my desk!
I mean I can promise, I don't have any...
I mean, I was just sitting I can show you my desk.
Uh like, I was sitting in the sun for the last 1 hour.
So my whole back is warm because of the sun!
My whole room is covered with sun, if you can check.
My Mood got off now!
They are saying outside that I've fever.
But I'm not sick at all I was just basking in the sun there.
My desk is completely covered with sun!
They are not trusting me man...
Anyways, let me cool my neck
so that they can know that I'm not sick actually..
my back is heated up because I was in the sun.
Temperature is finally normal!
Wow!
10417 Thank you.
This is mine, this is his!
You're gonna be alright buddy?
Yeah..
You'll be fine?
Yeah I'll be fine, I'm just scared looking at Apurv.
Then don't look!
How many bottles of blood?
Just one?
No, more than one!
-More than one? -Uh-Huh!
Oh God!
Does it hurt Apurv?
-No. -Okay!
Apurv's test is still going on...
But I've so many food items in my room
It's so hard to resist!
I woke at 8 AM this morning!
So it's almost 4 hours now I haven't ate anything.
All done!
All done okay.
Yeah you'll not have pain now it's just the initial...
Can I shake my hands?
Now back to work and I noticed that my nerve was here
and Apurv's nerve was here.
So like they checked,
where are the nerves seen so as they can put the needle.
But I think it doesn't hurt anymore.
It's just about a pinch hurt,
but there are some marks here...
as they had pressed very hard here.
Now it doesn't hurt that much but
since today was my Bicep's day I can't workout today..
Cannot take the risk, it might bleed.
I can see the dot, where the needle was put.
Let's give it a day for the recovery!
And finally I got my blood work results today.
And the results are as follows..
You can see the Cholesterol and all!
But most important is the Vitamin D.
So if you see Vitamin D,
it's 22.4 and it's very low from the normal range.
So it's pretty normal!
I can't share my roommates details because it's about privacy.
But I can tell you all over the US,
or you can say all over the US as many cases of brown..
I mean the cases they have seen of brown people here...
They said sometimes it also goes less than 20,
which is very very concerning. Luckily I've more than 20!
So I mean it's not deficiency,
it's inefficiency!
I mean, now I'm in border line case
so he said, take sun everyday.
And I saw that, I mean as many people I know
they all have this in average.
So it's not like it's disheartening or very shocking.
But it is low!
So the solution is take sun,
like I've to bask in the sun for 20-30 minutes.
But he also said that always try to bask in the sun
with the windows open because it has UV rays filter inside.
So it's pretty much useless
because 80% of UV rays will be blocked through the windows.
So it's useless!
And as the weather is cold outside, it's hard to bask
but what I will do is I'll try to have lunch in the sun.
So that 30 minutes will be good for the sun during the lunch.
And also like if possible you can remove your shirt
so that it would absorb more sun because...
We as dark coloured people or you can say brown people
we've a good amount of Melanin pigment inside.
So due to high Melanin pigment,
we need more time for the sun to absorb the rays.
So if a white person or a light coloured person needs 5-10 mins of sun
then we people need 6 times more sun like...
minimum 30 minutes.
So that's why I'm gonna try my best to do that
and the next solution is eat Salmon regularly.
I don't like fish that much as I eat chicken more than fish.
But I'll try eat Salmon fish,
which I usually have Tilapia fish, it's more expensive than that
Salmon fish has much more benefits so...
He said you can start with 3-4 times a day
and then reduce it to 1-2 times!
And I'd to get test in next 6 months
and talking about Testosterone the results haven't come.
If you want, I'll share that in the next video.
Thank you so much for watching!
And I will see you guys in the next one.
Goodbye.
