Three days ago, Clare went for a routine MRI of her foot to see what’s giving her such discomfort since her surgery in September. The technician was trying to adjust her on the table and … she fell to the floor. She was bleeding on her head and there was concern for a concussion, so the clinic called for an ambulance. I met her at the hospital nearest to this MRI installation: ~30 minute drive for me from home. She was in the hospital for several hours and had several scans that were negative. She saw her primary care physician the next day and today we were back for the originally-scheduled MRI (with the same technician…).
I took several photos in the hospital and of her bruised eye the next couple days, but those are probably “NSF365.”

@corinnec Bad mark, indeed! I really had to contain my frustration and dissatisfaction at this return visit. And the bills for the ambulance ride and deductibles and co-pays at the hospital all fell to us, of course. The orthopaedic group-practice of course did not volunteer any financial assistance as that would admit some liability. The MRI tech uses a cane, so that was part of the issue: he is essentially one-handed if he needs to adjust a patient on the table. Not an ideal situation to say the least. Fortunately, there have been no lingering or persisting issues from her fall. @marlboromaam@randystreat@danette@thewatersphotos
