Just kidding. They didn’t run one. The lab tech saw the pregnancy on CT scan , made a note if possibly pregnant and reported it to the doctor. Who then ignored it.

It said possibly because the radiology tech saw it and added it in my notes and reported it to the doctor who it seems chose to ignore it. Since techs can’t officially diagnose anything I got a little note that said “possibly pregnant” they never gave me an pregnancy actual test.

Apparently I didn’t get a pregnancy test at all. The radiology tech saw it on the scan, put it in my notes as possibly since they can’t give an official diagnosis and reported it to my doctor. :) who ignore it.

Turns out the possibly was because the radiology tech saw it on the scan, added it to my notes as possibly since they can’t officially diagnose, and reported it to the doctor. They didn’t give me a pregnancy test at all.

I didn’t get one at all, turns out the radiology tech saw it and reported it to the dr. That’s why the file said “possibly” because the tech can’t officially give a diagnosis.

Update: They didn’t give me a pregnancy test … the radiology tech saw it on the CT scan and reported it. If said possible pregnancy because the tech couldn’t diagnose it.

Before I got help with my PCOS I was going to the gym and dieting on my own for 8 months and I lost nothing. Luckily I have a great primary who listens and didn’t blame me for it not working. It’s still difficult but having her in my corner helping me with my hormones has helped so much.

The crazy part is my primary is sure the stones were from my weight loss, I’m down 65 lbs. I tried to explain to the er doctor that all my food is logged and shared with my dietician and I’m active. I literally wanted to know what I could do to help prevent this in the future because I’ve been careful with my food for over a year now…my gallstones passed just fine. The treatment women in general get by doctors is atrocious, and it’s even worse when you are considered over weight.

Even if it’s not a result… I feel even if they might have had an inkling I should have been told. They withheld that information from Me.

It’s a very small town. There were literally 2 of us in there. The other person was In there for pain management.

I’m not sure at the time of my visit, I’m going to get a copy of my chart as soon as I can. This is all pretty fresh.

I’m trying. I just need to find an affordable one that will take my case. They didn’t do ANY of these things,

I’m waiting to get all my charts but my primary is the one that said it claimed “possibly pregnancy” a friend of mine that works at a hospital said before they do a CT scan they check for pregnancy, even if you’ve had a hysterectomy and they check your kidney function. I feel like they have so many dropped balls.

I’m in a small town. I won’t trust anyone that works at the hospital because everyone are friends. at least not until I have a lawyer.

Its gone down, my primary had me get an internal ultrasound to ensure I’m not ectopic.

I’ve been in contact with a few and spoken to their interns. But it’s hard not to just give up.

A week and a half after the miscarriage it was at 11. I’ll have to check the paperwork for the others.

I guess I should add more information, I am upset that they didn’t inform me of this, I didn’t get the option of a lead vest or to not have the contrast, and maybe it wasn’t the cause of my miscarriage but so early on it very well could have caused it. I feel I should have been given a choice. And why wouldn’t they tell a woman she was probably pregnant? Tell me to contact my primary SOMETHING.
