Now It Hits Home. |

Posted by Fisk Ave Jim on Mon May 16 21:52:38 2022 I speak of shortages. I have some digestive issues & I was scheduled for a lower abdomen CT scan with contrast this coming Wednesday. Today I get a call from my MD saying that the contrast aspect of your test cannot happen b/c a nationwide shortage off the contrast dye.She suggested that a CT scan can happen but subjecting me to all that radiation without the contrast could result in an inconclusive test. Naturally I backed off so they want to treat me as if I had diverticulitis. Doing a little research, I find out that indeed there is a natiowide shortage of the contrast dye needed for such tests. Amazing! What next? I wonder if the dye comes from China? |
