The 13 month Mammogram
Every year it gets harder and harder to get a screening mammogram at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles. The first year, it was a four month wait, the second year, a five month wait, this year I called today for an exam in January 2009. Yes, 2009. Somehow, I don’t think the yearly mammogram is meant to be the thirteen month mammogram. I’m going to see this year, if I can get an appointment one year out when I’m there, rather than going through this one week process (getting postcard, getting authorization, getting appointment) just to find out that it’s not for six months.
And this is the great American health care system?
