I went for my annual check up yesterday. No big whoop!
But I've been having some headaches. This is no big whoop because I have a long history of sinus problems. By the way, sinus problems are the number one reason patients visit their doctors.
My doctor is something else! Always a little frustrating to be in her office but she's an excellent diagnostician and takes me seriously - sometimes too seriously.
Here's exactly what I told the nurse prior to seeing the doctor.
I've been having headaches for a few weeks. They're in my face and ear. I have a history of sinus issues.
Later the doctor sweeps in and says: "I'm sending you to get an MRI of your brain."
I laughed. I thought she was kidding. She wasn't. We finally compromised on a CAT scan of my sinuses - and brain.
So I still have the headaches until further information comes in.
What's her problem? Hasn't she ever seen "Kindergarten Cop?"
It's not a tumor!
