My 87 year old mother was sent by her doctor for back pain. She was told by the imaging center to drink berium the morning of her procedure. She arrived and waited HOURS to be seen. She was told the ""man"" that was needed wasn't there. Then she was told to drink more berium because she had been there so long. Then her spine was xrayed. She was told the doctor had ordered an MRI, but she woman said she didn't know why and Mom could sign a paper saying she didn't want it. Mom said no, it her doctor oredered it, she wanted it. Why the berium? She said the women in the office seemed confused about it also. Why have her come in early and have no one there to do the procedures? Who was the ""man""? Mom never saw him. Why confuse an 87 year old woman about whether to do what her doctor had ordered?
