So scheduling a biopsy is fun

First, run to the doctor, get all records and a neatly typed list of instructions. Then run to Regional Radiology with records in tow (in a CD form, so why they can't email this I don't know), get redirected three times. Fun!

Today they called back and the records were missing something important, so Mommy asked me to do it again this week later. Honestly, it was enough of a pain when we had a ride, but doing it by bus is going to be killer. WHY THE HELL CAN'T THEY EMAIL IT?

Well, Regional Radiology did have a nice patch of purslane, so I got some for my salad, there's that.

Yay! Foraging! And good for you for literally finding the little good things below eye level. Sorry that this process is such a pain.

HIPAA.

Well, HIPAA and the total inability of the medical field to figure out how to encrypt their email.

How much blame should I put on the medical field for their incompetence in this area?

I always keep an eye out for purslane! But most patches are in places frequented by dogs and drunks, so... yeah.

*nods* It can be difficult to find a good patch of whatever, even when it's all over the place. Besides being sweet and highly visible, fruit is easier because it's generally off the ground.
