Wink Obvious- Duh !

I recently had my annual breast MRI, mammo and ultra sound.
After all the imaging, the tech asked why all at the same time ? I casually qasked the doc and she said it made perfect sense to stagger the imaging throughout the year. This way if anything wants to grow, I at least have a better chance of catching it if the tests are run through out the year vs all at once. Makes sense !

Just though I would mention this
