 I'm at the hospital waiting for the X-ray technician to give me a fucking CD to bring to my doctor's appointment tomorrow.

(I'm fine. Well, my knee is fucked, has been for a month. I just want to run, dammit.)
 
 I am frequently reminded of the term “practicing medicine” Hope you get your knee fixed! 
 I feel you man, not being able to just go for a is terrible 
 Go for a run* 
 🫂 Hope they can fix it up for you Derek! ❤️‍🩹 
 Sending healing ❤️‍🩹 vibes 💫 
 Good luck 🫂🫡

 It’s MOTRIN in the military 
Always Motrin 
🤣🤣🤣 
 Need to educate them on the use of secure and encrypted email. 
 get well soon buddy 🫂💜
maybe an osteopathic treatment could help 
 I gotta find out what's wrong first. 
 that sounds logical 🫂 
 Hope recovery is swift! 
 At least they got off the FAX 
 Felt HUGS 🫂  
 When I could no longer run 🏃 
Everything changed 
Lots of meditation 🧘🏻‍♀️ 
Hip thrusts work though 
You will heal 
Cause you’re awesome 😎 
 
 Hopefully. I haven't ran in a month and it's driving me crazy. Once I find out what's going on with my knee I'll see if I can bike. 

Hopefully nothing is torn. I don't really want to have surgery. But I also don't want to limp all of the time either. 
 Understood. Stay healthy. At least you’re smart about it. Truly.  
 aw that is a bummer, much love 
 how I felt when I needed to FAX something for work the other day 
 Sounds like a job for nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qythwumn8ghj7anfw3hhytnwdaehgu339e3k7mf0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tch2deau's medical records over Nostr project... 
 Yeah... This is BS. We have got to get that info into Nostr events.  
 Hey at least I didn't have to bring them a floppy 🤣 
 I am surprised they didn't ask you for a fax number.  
 Funny guys!!

I’m here imagining an episode of The Flintstones preparing that x ray 💿 !

😂 
 I don't get the CD thing but hopefully it's good news

I had to wait for a CD also  
 See my note on the topic.  
 For what it's worth, they're usually also writing a DICOM player to the disk so the entire study can be viewed and manipulated as if it was taken on a machine your provider has access to. It isn't as simple as something like a folder of JPEGs. The point is to make it as standard as possible so that any provider can view, adjust, and manipulate the study. Most electronic health record software has this built in, and your doctor probably can already see it if they have compatible health record systems. But the absolute simplest and most universal method for sharing these studies is on a disc. It's essentially guaranteed to work for any medical provider right now with no effort on their end. Put the disc in and go. All the other ways are less reliable unless you know certain details about who will be viewing it.  
 These systems weren't designed for patients, but it's worth noting that you can pop the disc in yourself and have all the same abilities if you want. I guess they could create virtual disc files and somehow transmit them but the files are large and it again isn't as standard or simple as just opening and closing a disc tray. You'd need to know how to mount a virtual disc, etc.  
 Brutal man. Hope you get on the mend fast! 
 Sorry Mr Ross. 
We are just waiting for your CD to burn.

 
 If I had a CD-ROM drive I'd pop it into my computer at home now and see what's on it 🤣 
 See what they take away from us.  
 Good luck tomorrow!🍀
I had to stop skiing some time ago due to an accident. Now, I mix sports and have almost recovered my level of activity.
Patience and perseverance. 💜🫂 
 I hope it's nothing serious, get well soon ! 
 Get well soon.
