Subject: RE: BS: Male breast cancer
CL... I assume it'll be the "tech" that does that, mostly because I might have called her a tech in error. She may be an expert in interpretation. Long explanation warning : It takes 13 years to become a fully trained radiologist here. Now whether she is fully trained in all aspects or has completed her training in "ultrasound", I do not know but, if she has, she is a doc. Of course, I assume each case must pass by the head cheese of radiology or a delegate and, yes, that would be a doc. The simple fact that she said "it looks like..." indicates to me that she has the ability to make such a determination. Now, if an ultrasounder was ultrasounding various organs and structures for the determination of possible tummy ache causes, they wouldn't say squat but this was a very specific "test".
'What is the cause of?' versus 'What is this?' kinda thing, eh? Does that make sense or am I gettin on everyones' tits?

Thanks, Megan. I appreciate every skelp. Just don't save em up, eh? >;-)

Yes, it was a long way to go for a joke, but I am dedicated. How many skelps am I up to, Megan?
