Linda's Travail

Linda S.O.G.'s Brain Scan

I just heard from Linda.  She wasn't too happy with me.  When I learned she was going in for a very specialized kind of MRI called a MRV on Wednesday, and knowing that her health insurance had limitations, I went into my network for suggestions.  A friend of my brother-in-law had a friend Tony who knew a guy in Miami who did x-ray diagnostics on the side. I gave Linda the number, and she made an appointment. 

Turns out Leroy, the guy, ran his business out of the bowels of Miami's airport where he's employed as a baggage handler.  Still, an MRV is an MRV, right?  And for $129.95 what's to lose? 

Linda became suspicious when Leroy, and other guys asked her to sign copies of her scan before she left.  Then she noticed that her brainal area wasn't even in the shot.  Now she's pissed at me because the consult with her surgeons is put off until next Thursday, and she has to pay for a real scan because her insurance won't pay for two, and this one will cost like $3000!.  Sheesh. And when I asked her to sign a scan copy for me she got all snide and told me to GFMS. She'll get over it because I'm teaching myself to do cyber scalpeling. Don't forget her candle in the header.

Augh! The scan wasn't near as awful as dealing with the airport traffic!

Never again!

You are the best kind of friend, Rodger. Humor that breaks the silence. :D
God Bless You and LindaSog!

Well she needs some humor, even if laughing gives her a migraine. She can laugh in her head. Thanks Juice.

I don't know. It's not something I'd ask a lady.

Linda, Rodger is being modest. He posted for our son with prayers from all here. I KNOW he's a sweetpea behind the guillotine.
But, honestly, God's Blessings to you. And a healing beyond your hopes.

So, Ah... Linda, Where could a guy get one of these MRV images, signed of course, for ah... medical research purposes?
Prayers for you Linda, hang tough.
