Received a phone call from my Medical Centre.

Your appointment is on my granddaughter's birthday. Will be sending out positive vibes for a good outcome B.
Re: bolded quote. I've had to deal with a few customer service reps with heavy accents. It can be quite annoying.

I was becoming rather annoyed. Trying to understand her was a real task, with a few pauses because I had not idea what she said or asked.

@Bretrick this is the very reason I have a low-dose CT scan every year. I smoked for years. Oddly, my doctor doesn't contact me afterward. The place that does the CT scan sends me an email. The last one just indicated that everything was normal.

Please keep us posted on your further tests and overall health prognosis.

As a follow-up to my lung scan the doctor recommended a CT Coronary Angiogram.
Today is 13th January. Scan day.
Sitting in the waiting room. Been told to allow 4 hours for total appointment time.

 

[Kaila]

I'm glad you shared that you're there.
It's still the 12th, here.

I hope it goes smoothly for you.

Wow! That sounds like a long time. I've never had one but have had regular CT scans and they are usually around an hour with waiting time included. Let us know what happens!

 

[Kaila]

Total appointment time, would likely mean from walking in, to leaving.
Includes paperwork, info, clothing, prep, the full procedure steps..... followup instructions.

@Kaila
For a Coronary Angiogram my heart needs to be slowed down to about 62 beats per minute.
I have been given pills for that and I will be monitored for 30 minutes to monitor my reaction.

 

[Bretrick]

Heartbeat is down to 61.
One person before me.
I might be out of here in an hours' time.

 

[Bretrick]

All done.
Scanned, any side effects? Warm testes.
Being monitored for 15 minutes.
Total time. 1 hour 15 minutes.

Thank you for keeping us updated B. How long before you get the results?

I have a doctor's appointment on 29th Jan.

That is good news, Bretrick, if it was urgent then you would be
having a Doctor's appointment before the end of this week!
With luck, it will be easy to put right.

Mike.

I hope you're resting up and recovering, today, Bretrick.
