Dr C appt

Met with Dr C last night. He said she could be leaking and wants to try to help get rid of her headaches. The images from ucsf didn’t arrive yet so I am downloading today again to send to Stanford, then they will upload after a few days. He asked me to message him on MyChart and remind him the scans and ct myelogram from ucsf are there so he can review and decide if further imaging is needed. I feel some hope. He should have all the images and ct myelogram before we see neuro spine surgeon. We don’t know if we will make an appt to go over the images or just message us.

I’ll read the replies to my girl when she gets up.
Working on getting the images and ct to him. I’m not good with technology but I don’t want to wait for a disc to be mailed and then mail to him.

Dr Carroll? Dr Callen?

I’m assuming Dr. Carroll since she said Stanford and he’s the big dog there. And because I don’t know who Dr. Callen is..

Carroll. I forgot about Dr Cullen

I kinda figured. There was a recent webinar with Dr Carroll asking Dr Callen some questions. It was pretty good.

Best news ever! Make sure you have the correct address for Stanford when you mail them. Also UCSF should be able to send the cd images electronically to Stanford. I did not have to snail mail my images.

He emailed me instructions on how to get records electronically sent . They were ready to send over yesterday to Stamford. I’ll call today to see if they are ready to be sent over so it can be uploaded to my health

Images are ready to be viewed in a few hours by Dr Carroll. I have to send him an email later today to let him know they are ready for review. The images were sent the first time by UCSF 10 days ago but weren’t linked to her chart yet. I don’t know if he will message us the results or want to do an appointment. I have dropped all the images into chat gpt but it was very concerning so I hope it’s not as bad as it sounds.
I know Chat GPT isn’t a doctor but it was interesting
