my ct scan is scheduled for monday. I have to drink barium and have iodine iv. ugh...

funny thing. called ct office and never heard of me. called drs office and they said waiting for insurance approval. I got nasty and she switched me to someone else who said "oh our fax is broken".

you mean to tell me that a major doctors office has a broken fax machine for two bloody weeks. she then assured me she would send it over right away.

so about 10 minutes later I get this snooty person from the ct office and we scheduled it for monday.

after I get results I am not going back. dont care if he is good, ain't going.

That's crazy. I would get the scan and then write a letter to that doctor telling them why you won't be back. They need to know.

oh ive been having horrible stomach pain after I eat. burping and belching. pain in back sho u lder blades. it goes completely across under ribs. so bad I cant sleep at night.

the barium will show stomach and the iodine iv will show pancreas, liver and spleen.
