Okay, this last Dr. appt. I was told I would be getting a digital image taken of my hip.
I got there, met with the physicians Assistant, she answers my questions regarding Stryker's FDA letter, leg length after sugery etc...
Then I say "I'm supposed to get a digital image taken of my hip", she tells me she checked and it was done last time and my insurance has been billed for it.
I sat there with a blank look on my face. I could not for the life of me recall having it done. I asked here if it was possible that the image in my file was misfiled and belongs to someone else. She reassured be it was mine. I really tried to probe my memory bank, I had a vague recollection of possibly having what I thought at the time was a reg. x-ray done at that office. Then I asked a questin that I knew would sound stupid, I asked "If it is the wrong image, would you be able to tell when you open me up"...she smiled and said "Yes". I know she thought I was a being paranoid, but it still bothers me.
To make things worse they weren't able to get the computer up so she could double check it while I was there. I guess there was poor communication between the digital scan person and the front office.
How common is it for people who are anxious or stressed during a doctor visit to have problems remembering something like this???
I am going to call Monday and clarify that they have a digital scan of my hip in my file.
I do feel like I'm going a bit "more" luney though.
