I'm starting to get really irritated. I just found out my OH's X-Rays are no good because the X-ray technician didn't take our forms to be filled out by the radiologist. She signed them but then gave them back to us. *sigh* It would have been mine too, but I had to have a followup and the second technician knew to take my forms to send along with the films. I hope there aren't any more complications.
I guess general advice is that if you are in the US (where they have no clue about immigration to other countries--we don't have panel doctors here) and people are afraid of the paperwork you hand them to know exactly what they need to do and make them do it. :wah:wah


/rant over. Just so stressed out. Just a month to go and still so much to do.

*hug* This is a minor setback, I know it feels like crap (And there's so much to do), but I'm sure you'll get through it.

Just take a moment to breathe. :)

Oh, I had such a hard time getting people to follow the instructions, too! The blood taker didn't want to sign across the picture, or didn't understand.

The x-ray technician filled in the info for the "person assisting" which I think technically is reserved for someone who's helping me with getting dressed or whatever, but I hope this won't be an issue.

To top it all of, I'd just had a chest xray for a suspected walking pneumonia 4 weeks earlier, but they couldn't use it for NZIS b/c they hadn't done the identity-checking stuff. I probably glow in the dark now.

It really sucks, but you will get through it!!!

We found out it was a student who took our original Xrays. :no

After calling my doctors office they lit a fire under the tail of the xray clinic and we got it redone for free. *whew* The lady who did the ones today took the paperwork much more seriously.
Almost submitting that ITA... almost.

Ness don't worry about the radiation. It's really quite low, so having 2 x-rays done fairly close together is not a big deal.
