Subject: RE: BS: Scan discrimination
That's very good news Roger.

I keep nagging my husband to have a check-up for his prostate. He has no symptoms but it's always best to be proactive. Being African, he can't see the point in going to the doctor's unless you're half dead already.
I think if one actually asks the scanning staff to comment on what they see, they'll oblige, even if they won't provide a print-off. I had a ghastly endoscopy procedure (tube down gullet with sedation which didn't seem to help!) Four very nice nurses have to hold one down firmly while the thing is shoved in. After it was shoved out again, I croaked out some questions I'd prepared earlier. (Ever the teacher!) The chap was a bit reluctant but he told me all I wanted to know and showed me the pics on his screen. Only a hiatus hernia thank goodness.
It is rather annoying if they assume one is too daft or thick to understand the findings.
