When I went for my mammogram, the tech looked at my results from last year

along with the pictures. Then she said.....I'll be right back.....came back

in....doubled checked my name, ss# and birthdate. Finally, I said " are you

worried that you have the wrong patient's info? " She said " the pictures I have

are

of a much larger woman " . So I told her about my surgery and the fact that I

had lost over 100 pounds in the last year. She felt much better!

By the way, I did mention this to the person I made the appt with.....but I

guess she never wrote it down.
