I needed an x-ray of my hand recently. I had one 10 years previously (image on a big film) and knowing that radiologists like to have something to compare a scan to, I took it to my appointment. It was waved away by the receptionist.

Naturally, the radiologist's new report started "There is no previous imagery to compare ..."

I still have about 6 big x-ray films and will keep 'em.

Medicare receptionists are the worst. I’m my opinion less educated but feel far superior. Bad attitude and seem to know better than the actual doctor / specialist.
