I want to hit my uncle over the head!

[nova_myth]

He yelled at me over the phone not one hour ago about me having a scan tomorrow. Calling it a waste of money and a cancer risk.

1) He's not my doctor!

2) I've had TWO doctors tell me I need to do this.

3) We've already done blood, urine, and normal x-rays with everything normal and no answers.

It pissed me off! On top of that, he says any 'responsible' doctor would have checked my down under 'felt around' extensively first before even suggesting this. Are you kidding me?! The pain is no where that area!! Or my where my reproductive organs are!!!!

I've been trying to drink my first bottle of barium. 1/3 of it in an hour. I don't think my stomach can take me chugging it... oi... x.x  It doesn't taste as nasty as I was worried about. But it does feel... wrong drinking it. I want to gag. I'm not sure if its the texture or what but I don't like it!

I hope all went well with the test, and that after this your doctors will know how to fix whatevers wrong.

Your uncle is an idiot.

I haven't heard from my doctors since the test Friday morning and if they don't call me by noon Monday I'm calling them. The imaging center was very nice as were the staff. I was very impressed.
