What happened was my doc never saw the films, just read the report, I
confirmed this with a call to my doc office today. I asked them to pull
my chart and tell me what it said the appointment after I went for the
u/s The chart read on that date that my doc told me I had cysts on my
ovaried consitent w/ PCOS per u/s done the previous week. So he read a
report that said normal but told me it said I had cysts. He lied, plain
and simple.
