Folks go to school for years to understand how to interpret x-rays & CT scans & MRIs & the like. They note *everything* they see...not just the presence or absence of what they were looking for to begin with.<br /><br />Like my Mama (RIP) used to say...don't go looking for trouble...or you may find it.<br /><br />File that copy of your report in the trash under "C" for CRAP...not cancer.<br /><br />My favorite line from my Mom, when sitting in her doctor's cubicle after an exam:<br /><br />Dr: Mrs. XXX, I see on your x-ray that you have severe curvature of the spine. We call that scoliosis.<br /><br />My Mom: Dr. XXX, don't worry...your x-ray will look the same when you get to be my age.<br /><br />And she picked up her purse, grabbed her walker, and out the door she tottled, with me close behind....grinning.<br /><br />:-D<br /><br />Read an Enquirer instead of your CT report...much more entertaining.<br /><br />Love & hugs from an RN who hates the medical establishment--I'm too jaded, I guess.<br /><br />--Andrea<br />XOXOXOAndreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906294073463591713noreply@blogger.com
