Another funny mistake; this one from a doc's office...

I got a letter the other day from the Doctor I saw when I was having the neck/chest pain and sinus infection, the one that sent me for 7 x-ray views of my cervical spine, thinking trouble with a neck vertebrae was causing the neck/chest pain.

The letter said:

"Other than some early degenerative (arthritic) changes in your wrist, your x-ray looked normal."

I read that and laughed and laughed and laughed!  I told my roommate, and she laughed ; we were both giggling like schoolgirls!

I did call and let his office know about it, and they read me a letter in my file that was about my neck, and I said that I hadn't received that letter.  They asked me if my name was on the letter I'd received, and if not, to shred it.  My name was on the letter, so I continued to giggle inside.  I'll take it to my PCP tomorrow, so she can laugh, too!

Grins,

Kathy

hee hee hee!  I hadn't thought of it that way!

I talked to my PCP about it this morning, and we had a good laugh, too.
