There's got to be a better way

Arrive at 6pm for a mamogram appointment.
Don't get taken for paperwork till 6:20 (and some of it could have been sent in advance or taken from the files).
End up going for the big squish at 7:30
Get out at 7:40 after 5 photos (one had to be retaken, the bottom didn't come out (bad angle or something)).
And now I wait 5-10 business days for the results.

Just a horribly inefficient process :(
But at least it is 1x a year - hopefully forever.

Gosh, I hope mine is not so bad. I have never gone and I was told that they do not schedule appointments, that you just come in. I better find out if that is true first before I go in.

This is at a superbusy regional hospital with evening appointments. Walkins probably won't be bad, hopefully you can call ahead to see the wait time.

Hopefully not FOREVER.... Soon it would be nice if they just found a more efficient and easier way!

I dread this event in my life... can't be worse than childbirth though! Glad yours is done for a year.

The event itself isn't all that bad (just take a tylenol before hand if you can) - but the waiting and scheduling at this hospital s*cks. At least this is pretty much a just show up, nothing special beforehand kind of test - no dieting or taking anything first.
