Today I drive 90 miles each way to Scottsbluff, NE, for routine heart tests. I want to make sure my ticker is strong and healthy before I head to the wilderness during my summer sabbatical (it is). I went to Scottsbluff because when I searched for cardiologists at my insurance web site, it listed them…
