I got to Dr. McCarty’s office before they opened. The receptionist let me in, and as soon as the doctor arrived, they took me in. We chatted a bit as he went over the notes he had from Dr. Allison. He had my blood work from last month handy, so I asked him about liver functions (which I did not remember discussing with him). He said the liver panel they were going to do today was different.
A nurse came and drew three color-coded vials of blood. By the time that was over, the doctor came back in and said that one of the gals in the office would make arrangements for the CT scan and MRI and then they would get back with me. I had paid the co-pay on my way in, so I was on my way out the door, and had actually made it out through the first two sets (of three) doors leading to the parking lot, when Doc McCarty came running (yes, Jack McCarty running — I wish I had a camera) after me.
Emily had already lined up the MRI and CT scans….
