I had my mammogram today.
When I was in the mammogram room I noted smelling salt taped to the side of the x-ray machine. I innocently asked the lady "Do some people pass out during their mammogram?" I mean I can see passing out from having blood taken, or a bone set, or almost any medical procedure. But from an xray? So my curiosity got the better of me and I asked her that simple, innocent question. I wasn't being judgemental. I really was just curious. She angrily snapped back "we also do biopsies in here! If someone stuck a needle in my breast I'd probably pass out!!"
I've had several mammograms. Its never hurt until today. I guess that's what I get for being curious?
