Erin Examines.... HEALTH By: Erin Webb Communications & Media Director League City Regional Chamber of Commerce In a world consumed by image, we often concentrate on how we look on the outside and seldom forget what we look like on the inside. Recently I had the opportunity to get a complete ultrasound health screening at ClearPix Ultrasound. I walked in with complete confidence that the ultrasound would show nothing was wrong with me, because I hadn’t been experienceing any pain or anything. Unbeknownst to me, not only did I have one issue, not even two issues, but THREE issues that needed to be addressed by my general practioner. After taking my ultrasound readings to my doctor, my issues turned out to be minor, but did require additional testing and medication, along with a complete lifestyle change. If I had not caught these issues, they could have turned into a major illness down the road. What’s my point? Easy. Be proactive with your health. We have so many resources available to us to be screened for our health and it takes so little time to have it done. I was in and out of ClearPix within 45 minutes and prevented something drastic from occuring just by being proactive in my health. You owe it to yourself to take care of yourself!
