How are you getting an MRI without being in pain anyway?

Reading the report caught my brain tumor. I had already left my neurologist's office. He had 30 years of experience. Completely missed it. He missed it in the scans AND the report. It's a quarter size nugget sitting on my brain stem.

Yeah no. I had scans done at urgent care, that dr didn’t read them or follow up, my primary never read them either. I did, brought it up and turns out I have osteoarthritis in my 30s. So yeah I’m going to keep reading my radiology reports, clearly nobody else is.

I only check to ensure my spinal cord isn't super horrible and needing emergency surgery. I've experienced delays in care causing permanent cord damage. I feel that being informed is best. In the past 18 months or so, I've had seven MRI's between a shoulder and my cervical spine. The surgeons tend to see things differently than radiology, sure but I would like both interpretations please.

I had my PT read it to me line by line and explain it til I understood. We talked about the game plan to help fix/strengthen to help eliminate further damage for now.

Or radiology misses it. It’s important everyone reads it.

I have been surviving cancer 42+ years, since I was 17. I am up to five primary cancers now. I read all my radiology and pathology reports. Having a PhD in biology helps.

I read my daughter’s radiology report. The dr said it was normal as a medical professional I knew it wasn’t. I was able to get her images and read them and she had lung cancer. I have also diagnosed two broken bones in my kids that radiologists missed. I will always read a report bc drs are always saying it’s all good or normal.

I disagree. I didn’t read a report and the radiologist made a HUGE mistake that wasn’t caught for years.

D-Ann :
So the bad things in the report aren’t relevant?🤔 Uh ok I’ll just sit here take that sir (not) of course a patient can and should read and understand every line in their report regardless of wether is pertaining to the reason for the test or not . It’s your health . Don’t be talked down from that because this guy whoever he is , is telling otherwise . Too many docs will in fact do exactly what he has said and NOT advise you on the “other “ details of your report . Be on top of your stuff people don’t be naive …

Should be seeing a spine doc? I’m 41. And had this MRI taken due to supraclavicular swelling (ignore the back lumps they recently appeared). The radiologist didn’t write anything about it but the cervical spine doesn’t look great

So reading my report, I found out I have a horseshoe kidney, and apparently that's important to know.

Yea no. Let's not do this, you don't need to be parenting your patients. I read my reports all the time. Doesn't make me anxious and often helps my situation. I used to do special education and I never told parents this sort of thing. They can have whatever questions they like and read every document they want. This whole "Dr. googling" situation just shuts down the conversation and makes patients more nervous to share.
