They can be returned to the imaging centre for disposal.

I have self-diagnosed as, since last weeks angioplasty, I have now had 4 angina episodes in bed early in the morning. During the angioplasty my cardiologist indicated I was having artery spasm. So today I researched heart/artery/spasm and came up with the diagnosis of coronary artery spasm or vasospastic angina or Prinzmetal's angina. This started shortly after the cancer biopsy thoracic surgery, May 2023. In spite of describing this new angina I never had before running up left side chest to neck and ear, sometimes beginning with ear-ache, no-one has ever connected the dots even when I asked if ear ache can be an angina indicator. Turns out it is.
Advised symptoms;
- usually occurs while at rest late at night and in the early morning (this is me)
- can occur with cold. Me chopping wood in winter without angina and then other occassions left side angina even before lifting axe/splitter
- usually left side running up to neck

Apparently treatment is just nitro lingual spray (Start you cough).
Mentioning in-case others experiencing same and doctors not nailing it.

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.

I've found they don't like other providers reports and scans.
