Guest guest Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 Yeah, I had " Healthsouth " in Phoenix, AZ to take mine. They did such a bad job (overexposed) that I have to get them done again. Heathsouth is a joke. Does anyone know of a good imaging place in Phoenix AZ or around here? I want to get this done ASAP, so I can send them to LA. next day. At this point, I don't even care if I have to pay for them, I just need an intelligent, competant xray tech, not the bimbos at Healthsouth, or the like. Thanks everyone. > >(including the delightful > > " true lateral " x-ray) > > Wasn't that the most fun you've ever had?? NOT!!!

I look upon it as training for my future career as a circus contortionist. >NOT!!! My pre-op ones were done > by an x-ray tech that Dr. Boyd had trained personally.

" My preop ones were shot at the in-house X-ray at JRI, by Neil (the JRI tech). My postop ones were shot in the LAOH radiology department. Amstutz held them up to the light, and the first thing he said was " Neil didn't shoot these, did he? They'll do, though " . I'm *glad* they're picky. I had a real problem on the post-op ones, because my legs kept falling into internal rotation. Pre-op, my maximum internal rotation was -5 degrees (that's right, *negative* 5), so I had a lot of trouble preventing them from flopping into internal rotation once I had the surgery and had normal range in the joint again. I just wasn't used to stabilizing in that direction after so many years. I ended up getting a big block of foam just to keep them from doing that.
