Is there something like "hold and call" for any test like an x-ray or CAT scan, that needs to be done urgently on a patient before the patient leaves the office?

Subject: PS -Did you think to call a pharmacy? sm

This is what I did when something like this comes up. I know they want you to use the slightest amount possible, and usually never prescribe more than a small tube at a time. This is a very huge amount. I find pharmacists usually are very helpful if you don't ask them more than a few times a year. I would rather do this than say "a pound," just picture it in your head - that's a lot.

....an "acute abdomen series." It is three plain x-rays - one of the abdomen with the patient flat (lying down), one of the abdomen with the patient standing upright, and a third x-ray of the chest to include the diaphragms (also with patient upright) so they can see if there is free air under the diaphragm (which can happen with bowel perforation in cases of diverticulitis, Crohn's, or other bowel diseases).

Think your idea of ballottement is a good one.  Yeah, they do digital ballottment of the spine which sounds like it's done to see if it provokes discomfort somewhere else.  Don't know much else about it though.

I know you already put a blank, but there is another oral contraceptive that is called Tri-Levlen. Maybe he started to say Ortho Try-Cyclen and then realized it was something else and sort of combined the two. Let us know when you find out. I am just curious. thanks.
