I just took a “Wellness Assessment” prepared by an affiliate of the Insurance company, providing coverage for employees of our corporation.

Aside from the looney tunes attempt to psychoanalyze me, via multiple choice questions, it also looks at dietary and health history data to make a broad assessment.

Two major annoyances:

1 - They want to know how many days per week do I have 5 or more servings of fresh fruits and vegetable????
NONE!!! I’m allergic to MOST fresh fruits and vegetables!!
But, there is no provision to convey that little detail, or how I compensate for that restriction.

2 - Regarding my bout with Cancer, they want to know if it’s still “being managed”?
There is no way to convey that was 7 years ago and I’m in full remission.

Yet, they feel free to score me and then share a bunch of motherly basics from your 8th grade health book.

It takes 10 years of full remission before you're considered cured, so you can answer "Yes" to that one.
