Abdominal ultrasound scared!

[yologirl 1]

So I met with my surgeon today to finalize paperwork for surgery on 25 th. I had to get an ultrasound as my last requirement and I did and I'm really nervous becuz the tech took a ton of pix of my kidneys. I asked him if all was ok and he just said the radiologist wud read it and send it to my surgeon. Am I paranoid?

What if they found something? I have high BP and maybe it was something...... Ugh I don't know I'm just really depressed until I get those results.

Anyone else go thru this?

Radiologist are not allowed to give any type of diagnosis info. Even if they did see something they can't tell the person. But sounds like they were following procedure and are sending it to the correct people. Similar to X-ray, they take the pic and the doc gives the results.

Sorry, radiology tech. People taking pics. Forgot the word tech.

Thanks. I know they can't say anything but I just got that feeling it's not good.

You are probably fine. They took so many pictures of me, I thought the same. All was normal

Outrigger. Thanks for the vote of confidence. Did they call u with results or is it no news is good news?

It is probably nothing, as usually they take a lot of pics. But never assume no news is good news. Make sure you get the results. Too many times people fall thru the cracks because the assume if something is wrong their doc would call. I don't think it's something to worry about, but just make sure you get your results. Best wishes

No they didn't call. The surgeon reviewed the findings at the consult. Nothing is going to slip between the cracks because the surgeons don't want to take risks of a failure.
