Finally back home - LONG day. I'll post Billy's "results" in his thread but he's home and asleep.
Mammogram was clear - ultrasound was ... not much fun, but it's DONE. phew.
Anybuddy else find this ... not cool? As I was filling out my paperwork to have my tests done I had this extra slip that wanted me to sign off on either letting them throw away my old films or taking them home.
WHAT? You're the doctor -- YOU keep them. Why do *I* want them? My doctor may want to see a comparison in a year or two? These folks have new digital stuff now so all the results are now on CD and they don't want to "keep" the old films. I told them to send them to my doctor but I'd rather *I* didn't have to keep them (they're HUGE). Usually these places are SO proprietary about films it's a major deal to let another doctor see results ... and they want to just HAND them to me? I told them I had a problem with it -- they simply don't want the inconvenience of having to store them.
Am I being a jerk?? I took them b/c I don't want them ditched until MY doctor says so -- but I wasn't graceful about it and I registered my displeasure with "the boss". She knows I come there because I actually LIKE the techs so she knows I'm not a complainer usually but this just frosted MY cookies today!
