because i fainted numerous times today i was given an x ray. i didn't want it and didn't think i needed it because i had one only 2 weeks ago. i didn't question it at the time - you assume doctors know what they're doing right?
well apparently they didn't look at my record properly and after the x ray the doctor comes in, furious, telling me why didn't i tell her i already had a x ray done a fortnight ago?
wtf. how was i to know i wasn't allowed another one? (i have had 4 or 5 in 6 months for chest infection things, and perfusion scan in June). then she started loudly telling me how i was now high risk for breast lung and stomach cancer, and this could be so dangerous for me because im so young.
i understand she is only worried about me but why is it up to me to warn the doctor? anytime I've ever tried to give my opinion most doctors have dismissed it so I've stopped questioning them.
now she's set my anxiety off thinking im going to develop cancer.
a previous doctor told me a chest x ray is low dose! now i feel like crap -_-
i can't believe she didn't check then blamed me...it wasn't all in vain since i WAS having breathing difficulties. but still. ughh. why why why didn't i tell her. i didn't know!
