Hi Richard,
Thanks for the response makes me feel better. I am not all that
worried about it, but will feel better when I get the results on
Monday which I am guessing will be nothing.
Its interesting the comment you make about the high costs of
medicine and I think it is due to a lot of the extra tests. I made
a comment that I was surprised to have an appt on 5P on Friday and
they mentioned that the CAT Scans were so popular that they
scheduled them through 8P, 5 days a week. Sounds like there getting
a good ROI on there machines :-)
