That's too funny Catherine....You'll just have to practice more .

Sounds like Bruce is on top of the liver biopsy. Unless the test is going to change the course of treatment or outcome, you have to question the need for it. Sometimes it's just to confirm what they already know. When John ruptured his quad tendon we were in Maine on vacation. They did an MRI on his leg and wanted to do the the surgery up there. We opted to get home asap and then have the surgery. When we met with the ortho, he examined John's leg and immediately knew what was wrong. We then told him we had the MRI result from the other doctor. He smiled and said "you don't need an MRI to see what happened here". On top of that, all they did in Maine was to wrap an ace bandage around his knee when he should have been in a brace. But we had no experience dealing with injuries like this. I could educate them on SAA though since they were confused by his counts at the time .
