Has anyone ever had a disc-o-graphy?

[Guest guest]

Once again I am sitting in your " amen " corner sister.

I declare I would seriously consider taking the

results to the little dit personally and watching

while she read what a completely clueless numbskull

she had been, but when I think about it your way is

better. Being dressed down by a real physician would

be much better.

After what happened last Dec. when they put in the new

chf pacemaker, they'll have a hard time talking me

into anything that hurts bad enough to require

anesthesia. My mind woke up during that procedure,

not fun.
