Yes, this was another one of the screw-ups. 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.
