"""YOu will never hear that from anyone but your doctor."""
He's the greatest!
Not like those assholes at Vancouver's Cambie Clinic who took my $700 for CT scanning my lungs, and when they found two lesions (one of them measuring 3 millimeters) told me (to protect Canadian Medicare I'm sure) that there's nothing to worry about.
When I later found out that after Canada's ex-prime minister's, Brian Mulroney's, CT scan showed two small lesions like mine they immediately hooked him up to a PET scan machine to make sure those suckers weren't cancerous, I was angry. Very angry. But, realizing he IS a somebody and that his nodules/lesions might have been larger I cooled down a bit.
BUT, listening to Tammy Faye Baker the other day telling Larry King about how when her doctors found a lesion on her lung that measured only two thirds of what mine was (2 millimeters) they immediately attached her to a PET scanner to find out if her sucker was cancerous, I was fuming. And I still am!

I lied.
Rereading the CT report I got from the Cambie Clinic I have found that it was only my SMALL lesion that measured a measilly 3 millimeters. The big one was 4 millimeters. That's DOUBLE Of Tammy Faye's! DAMNIT!!!
Dr. B**s F**k's impression of my test was, and I quote:
"Two small and peripheral noncalcified lesions are identified. These are very likely to be benign with an extremely low risk of malignancy but a repeat chest screening study in one years time for follow-up purposes is recomended."
My interpretation of this crap?:
"Look, RedwineisJesus, let just wait a year or so and if those damn things grow that would mean that it was cancer to begin with and we'll deal with it then."
Is that fair?
