Oh, and guess what--two nurses complimented my Fluevogs. One, particularly, who saw them up close while I was on the exam table, was very taken with them.

Maybe it depends on what it's looking for and where? Not sure.
ya know, that could be it. i had to drink that wonderful barium and get some really expensive iv shot thing to looks for melanoma tumors and crap.

This is Paskha, a Russian Cheesecake...I think Puzzled Heart had something to do with this. Who's got the forks?
The grammar link didn't work. I actually took three years of Russian in college but I don't remember much--I CAN sing "The Old Gray Mare Ain't What She Used To Be" in Russian
I can sing a song about a cabbage and a song about the Patriotic War of 1812. I suspect that you would much prefer Ann's сheesecake instead.
Basically the grammar link said to use the word "товарка" but it is a very antiquated word. There was some chit chat about using the word "подруга" but that just seems wrong.
Желаю удачи завтра! (Good luck tomorrow!)

товарка, да, конечно. But "подруга" sounds familiar. Not exactly the same connotation, but probably is the word you'd use today. I love the way the consonants run together in Russian. I never did get the hang of the case endings, though. I'm sure it would come more easily to a speaker of German or other language with declension.

Oh, for tomsteve, I DID have the barium drink. I think it was plain vanilla, it wasn't unpleasant tasting but not especially memorable/identifiable. I just liked the fact that all it made me do is glow in the dark--the last time they made me drink something was for the colonoscopy a couple of years ago, and the results of that were YUCK, to say the least.
The scan wasn't bad, and my doctor said he'd call with the results when he gets them later today.

When I was doing medical transcription, the radiology transcriptionists were a whole separate pool from us "general" MTs. There had to be a at least a couple of them available 24/7 b/c any kind of imaging report was automatically a STAT with a turnaround time of an hour or less (back then, the turnaround time for standard transcription could be a week).
After voice recognition software, the whole transcription world changed and EVERYTHING was getting turned around much, much faster. Imaging reports were being turned around almost instantly, plus imaging was now digital. This meant the doc could pull up on his monitor both the image and the report of the read by the radiology guy just about as soon as the rad guy dictated his read.
And that all amounts to Lexie going for her scan and having the doc say "I'll call you later today and let you know what we've got here", something that couldn't have happened in the not-so-distant past.

Too funny!
I had a combined colonoscopy and gastroscopy recently (everything checked out fine although that's something I would prefer not to do again), but the sedative did not actually sedate me. It dulled the pain to discomfort but didn't put me out. Quite the contrary:
Sasha: What are you looking at? Can I see the screen? Wow, is that the duodenum? What's the pink thing over there?
Gastroenterologist to nurse: How much fentanyl did you give her?
Sasha: This is really neat! Ouch, it's pinching on the right-hand side. Wow, I'm like literally staring up my own butt!
Nurse: Five migs.
Sasha: Slow down, I didn't get to see that. So does this go all the way through the small intestine? What am I looking at now? Could you move the screen a little?
Gastroenterologist: Could you PLEASE give her some more? She keeps talking.
Sasha: Is that the gallbladder? Everything looks good to me, does it look that way to you? Wow, I am totally staring up my a**!
Gastroenterologist: More fentanyl NOW.
