The artery test proved ok, of course. This left only a possible vein problem, and to Kaiser's credit they recommended an ultrasound test for a DVT. There were no open appointments for such a test at the Arapahoe Facility, so I was forced to wait for the first available slot at their Northglenn Facility two days later. That test confirmed that a large vein in my leg was plugged up. Kaiser then suggested that I visit the emergency room at St. Joseph hospital. Which I did.

After only a two hour (or so) wait (it was Friday night - prime emergency time) I was seen by a physician who prescribed a blood thinner. I was impressed by the folks at St. Joseph, who seemed - unlike the folks at Kaiser - to know their business well. I should mention here that it was I who proposed the diagnosis to the Kaiser physician who authorized the DVT test. She concurred with my (Google's) diagnosis and ordered the test.
