Computed Axial Tomography has Advanced

I cannot believe how much technology has advanced in the last decade. I’m sure the price has increased considerably as well. When my twins were younger and needed tests (ie CT, MRI), I would plan on a whole day wasted having to go to the hospital and sit and wait. Then wait days for the results.

Well, now my youngest daughter, age 8, (3 weeks premature, but no complications) has been having headaches ALL the time. So, I took her to Yankton Medical Clinic yesterday to a pediatrician specializing in neurology. We saw the doctor, had a cat scan right in the office, and got the results right away in about an hour. No brain tumor, thank the Lord.

He is thinking she has tension headaches and knots in her muscles at the base of her neck. We’re gonna try heat and massage. Poor girl already has to deal with Interstitial Cystitis and now this.
