To turn to "modern medicine," one must assume that its tools are worth the pain. Poison and cutting, these are the pillars of Western healing, and sadly Rich has needed both. And one more, of course: The Perpetual Snafu.
The latest is this. Rich has an MRI at the local hospital, needed because his right arm continues to lose function and the surgeon has to know if it's time to cut again. Snafu begins with the primary care physician requesting an MRI for the wrong body part. It continues with the hospital sending the info to the wrong physician. Rich catches both of these. He requests that the CD be mailed immediately, there's no point in waiting for the local radiologist's report. This error he did not catch until today. The CD waited for the report we didn't need. The surgeon doesn't have it. It is somewhere, but nowhere of use. Maybe it will arrive by the end of the week.
