So many have posted here asking the MSW community what our MRIs mean. Why are our doctors so seemingly inept at interpreting them for us?
After reading so many posts about MRI confusion, it seems to me that there is a HUGE disconnect between doctor explanation and patient understanding. Are we patients not probing enough? Are we fearful of sounding stupid/wasting the doctor's time, or is something else the problem?
Does anyone have any ideas as to how we can successfully transition from getting our MRIs to understanding our MRIs (after all, we are paying big bucks for these tests and deserve some degree of satisfaction!)?
