Life in vet school said...: Well, they work better that way than when you do them with contrast. Duh, Dr. Grumpy.; May 27, 2010 at 9:29 AM
Tal said...: Maybe that means there was contrast? Double negative?; May 27, 2010 at 9:39 AM
The Mother said...: 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.; May 27, 2010 at 9:42 AM

Amanda B. said...: 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.; May 27, 2010 at 6:58 PM
