Ok, so I walk ask an attending ED doc for a script for an MRI of my neck....done, in my hand.  I pick up the phone and call the MRI ladies...get me in I say.  I can get you in at 3pm they say.  I call the registration lady and she says, " I will walk your stuff to sign over to you in the ED".  Got my MRI, films in hand  (basically tells me that I'm OLD and I game tooooo much), no official report yet, but I can look that up today most likely.  Its really nice to be able to cut through all the BS and get shit done in a timely fashion!  The ED docs said I most likely will ned injections and physical therapy....go into work an hour early and it will be done next door to the ED:)

O.k, I would be LAYING on the MRI table having my scan and THEN I would ask for a script. (Benefits of working in the department). THEN, I'd be MAKING one of the RADS inject my facet joints and DO IT FOR FREE! Gotta love my job! (going to the ED not as quick for me, need more connection).

Get better soon lady! Ive got a disc out between the 5-6 in my neck and hasnt bothered my for a couple years. At that time they said people that need the injections get them done as little as 1-2 years because of the progress in that area. If its a disc problem they say drink lotsa water and take vitamins hi in anti oxidents,its supposed to keep the discs pliable. Hope you feel better soon. :)
