Well, that was the fastest medical appointment in a long time. My appointment for the CT scan was at 2:15 pm but the radiology lab asked me to check in at 1:45 pm. I arrive on-time and was checked-in within 10 minutes. It helps to have all my medical appointments in one hospital system; I don’t have to regurgitate all my medical data each time. Instead of making me wait until 2:15 pm, the tech came and got me right away. The actual procedure was only three quick scans in the machine. I was done and back in my car by 2:10 pm, before my actual appointment time. It’s definitely less busy in the clinic with COVID-19. The radiology lab was quite crowded the last few times I was there. Today, there were probably only five people in the large waiting area.
The results will be at the thoracic surgeon’s office after 24 hours. Again, I hope it’s nothing serious and won’t require more surgery.
