When I asked her if she'd been using the prescribed medication as directed, she replied "No, I didn't pick it up yet." She had no idea why I was staring at her in disbelief.sleepyheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12145597042887882894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-86402248308259858312010-04-17T03:12:40.044-04:002010-04-17T03:12:40.044-04:00Hey Doc, you got the results of my colonoscopy by ...Hey Doc, you got the results of my colonoscopy by any chance?Mark In Mayennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987723233401368368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-55652938200389159342010-04-17T01:10:32.410-04:002010-04-17T01:10:32.410-04:00Not to be a bummer...but it is actually very uncom...Not to be a bummer...but it is actually very uncomfortable ...possibly painful..to lie on a hard MRI slab that they can't put cushions on if it's an MRI of your back...and you have to lie still for at least 20 minutes ...not fun....but I still wouldn't lie about it!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051428316258676659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-82468625404995181572010-04-17T00:26:02.080-04:002010-04-17T00:26:02.080-04:00Dr. G, if it makes you feel any better...last week...Dr. G, if it makes you feel any better...last week my doc ordered some blood work on me, and I called after a few days to get the results. Only partially back. Called back a couple of days later...results still in doc's folder to review. Got a call a few days after that...what really happened is that the nurse forgot to draw enough blood to do both tests, so test #2 never got done.

Shockingly, I wanted to know what was wrong with my head, and figured that'd be a good place to start! <br /><br />And I found a little devil guy living in my brain. No joke. I have no idea if ALL MRIs of brains look like mine, but it was disconcerting, to say the least. (It sure explains a lot, though.) I have the MRI series w/ the weird image in a PDF, if you wanna see it, Dr. Grumpy.
