So I've been having this pain in the middle of my foot for the past six months (I guess I have a pretty good tolerance for pain), and it's been getting worse. I decided to finally talk to my doctor about it and see if we can fix it.
She said it might be a stress fracture and sent me to the adjacent hospital for an x-ray.
I took my one-page request form from her office down to the hospital, where I was interviewed by an intake associate and asked questions such as:
Do you have an advance directive?
What is your religious preference, or do you prefer not to answer?
Point of contact in case of emergency?
This is just for a simple x-ray of my foot!
Yes, she nodded, while continuing with her procedures.
I even had to wear a hospital bracelet with my name!
(The x-ray technician let me view the pictures. I didn't see any obvious fractures.)
