Yesterday,I was not at mylot most of the time.A very close relative of mine had to go to for an ultrasound (Abdomen) scan and I went along.
As it is the way with hospitals, in spite of booking we had to wait more than five hours.Then why they give us a time for appointment is beyond me.
Anyway,were able to get the results One and half hours after scanning.
The good news is there was nothing wrong,and it was quite a relief.
So here I am posting this discussion after finishing the notifications.
How was your day?I know most of you are sleeping now.

good thing you were able to get the results on the same day so you don't have to go again just to pick it up.

That is true.But next week there is an appointment with the doctor to discuss the test results.(Of course the doctor in the scans did say there was nothing wrong.)

It is afternoon here now. Yeah I think it is stupid to have an appointment and they don't go by your time.

That is one good thing about living in semi rural towns where appointments are respected. I never have problems.

I am glad your relative is fine. Here, our healthcare is free and we do sometimes have to wait a while, but my experience has always been quite positive and I have had a lot of scans. Getting the results quickly is great. There is nothing worse than waiting for them.

Sorry to hear that. Yes, you have to make appointment with the hospital reception in order to do the ultrascan. Is it a government hospital?

That is very good news for your friend. You are right about appointments. I guess they think some people will cancel and they are making sure there waiting room is full of insurance paying patients. 5 hours is a ridiculous waiting time! Even here (US) 2 hours is a long wait. That's 5 hours of your precious time you can never get back
