So after my infusion was finally finished up at Huntsman I quickly hurried home to pick up a Crystal Light packet and some sweatpants and then headed out the door to hurry to the South Jordan clinic. I got there and checked in and asked to pick up the gastro contrast for my scan. The receptionist went to check and see which contrast to give me (gastro or barium) and she came back and said that the tech wanted to do the barium. I asked if I could have the gastro because I don't like the barium. So she went and asked again and came back and said that I would have to take the barium. So she pulled out the barium and started to mark on it and after thinking about it for a minute I said that if I was going to be required to take the barium then I just wanted to cancel my CT scan and I would make an appointment at a later date back up at Huntsman. I was quite ticked off about the whole thing and on my way out the door I called my parents to let them know that I was coming back home. When I was making my way out the front doors of the clinic the receptionist chased me down and said that they were going to do the scan with the gastro - that that was going to be alright. When I went back into the waiting room the radiologist was there apologizing profusely to me that she apparently had been trying to make a joke with the receptionist and the receptionist had taken the answer literally. So I will hopefully be having the scan here in the next little while. All I can say is that I wasn't a very happy camper and I'm glad that I complained about it enough to make them change their mind. And as it turns out the SJ clinic has the drink mixes that they give you to mix with the gastro so you don't have to use your own. Although I think I prefer the lemonade versions that I have to the cherry flavor that I picked. :)
