When I emailed them the prescription they said I didn't need a contrast; but when I got there, they said the prescription called for contrast. This is another time my attention to detail helped, I had a copy of my prescription and it did not call for contrast, but he said, we do contrast in cases like yours. The nurse reading the prescription when I emailed it, if it had called for a contrast, could have alerted me to getting a current BUN. I used to be a court-reporter and this is the type of thing gets more complicated the more you discuss it and question what happened-- AARRGH. Dee Dee |
