Firstly, I am so sorry for posting this, but I really need so wise words.
I had to have an MRI scan on Monday last week and was a wreck waiting for results. On Friday, my doctor got the report and rang me with the results.
The MRI was done after I asked for a scan. My doctor didn’t think I needed one, so compromised and wrote to the Neuro for advice on my symptoms. He wrote back and said to get an MRI done.
When my doctor rang me she said “Everything is fine, nothing to worry about, now.” She then added that I go and have a good weekend. Finally she said that the next step was to send the report on to the Neuro as requested.
At first I was so relieved. But then I thought about what she said at the end. Why did she need to send the report to the Neuro when I wasn’t even under one. Anyway I then rang my doctor back. I spoke to the receptionist, explaining the worry and she said my doc was on call, but that she would speak to her. I then got a call back from the receptionist who told me that she’d spoken to my doc. She said “The doctor said you’re fine, there’s nothing to worry about”.
Now all I can think is whether the doc didn’t tell me the whole picture. Is there something that is on there but she didn’t want me worrying all weekend? Why send it to Neuro who I’m not under. Why didn’t she say my results were normal?
I can’t rationalise my thinking. Can the doctor leave something out? Like, if there was nothing major on the scan, can she leave out the smaller things? Or can she avoid telling me if there was a BT, so that I don’t have the weekend going crazy?
My last worry is that, maybe she doesn’t understand the report and so will miss something?
