This report crossed my desk yesterday.

A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.

Welcome to my whining!
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

Studies show that things are shown by studies.
WV prost,skoal!
Well, they work better that way than when you do them with contrast. Duh, Dr. Grumpy.
Maybe that means there was contrast? Double negative?
Okay, you laugh, but the last time my neuro sent me for a scan without contrast, the tech asked me five times if I had ever had a reaction to contrast.
And I reminded her, five times, no contrast.
There are two things where repetitive redundancy ain't so bad--known allergies and blood transfusions.
Wow to the x-ray tech who might get some of that radioactive stuff involved...
LOL!! I've seen that written a couple of times!!! Silly people...

Is this from Podunk General? That's where I had mine done, I had gone to the largest city in Alaska for aa appointment and had my MRI done back at home. There was a big difference in the amount of professionalism. I kept telling them what the order said and they kept telling me I would do whatever they said I had to do. They were a little different after they finally read the order and the Doctor's name and what they were supposed to be looking for. Bunch of dumb donkeys.
?the radiologists passive-aggressive way of saying you should have ordered contrast?$?
AKA the redundancy department of radiology redundancy...
