Guest guest Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Wow, I guess the squeaky wheel does get the grease so to speak. I will make sure and speak up LOUDLY at my next appointment if I think I have been forgotten. I mean forgetting someone is on hold on the phone is one thing, but these two take the cake! Very funny now, but definitely not at the time right? Tracie > POWER OUTAGE DURING A MAMMOGRAM > > I actually kept my mammogram appointment. I was met with, " Hi! I'm Belinda!

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 I loved this one, Jan! I was having an EEG once (to investigate migraines), with all of these little wires stuck into my scalp, which was bad enough, but then suddenly it began to thunder very loudly, accompanied by strong lightning. It brought to my mind the electric chair, except I guess it would have been an electric bed in this case. When they finally released my poor head from the torture machine, I had one of the worst migraines of my life. I'm so glad my migraines got cured before I got RA, LOL.
