Waiting for MRI results

[phil sampieri]

Ok as loyal fans, we need to hear the results good or bad by now.

 

[HuskyNan]

Really? Rather than wait for the doctors to do things in their proper order, whatever they may be, inform Paige, her parents, and the authorized personnel at UConn of the results, discuss what, if any, information to make public then let the appropriate personnel form a public statement?

We are one spoiled, demanding fan base.

I'm sure we'll know quicker than you can refresh your browser (which I'm sure we've all done over a 100 times today for updates) once the news breaks.

I'm think you need the swelling down for a number of hours before the MRI.

As I used to try to teach my kids, there's a reason for English having two distinct verbs, need and want.

OK, as loyal fans, we want to hear the results…

Please don’t say that as if we all are spoiled. I believe that many of us are fans who certainly want the team to win, but also appreciate all that UConn basketball has done for us.

The Courant will immediately have access to that info about the MRI…

Yes often we old timers often think of these young ladies as our daughters. If that makes me demanding so be it. Thanks Nan

 

[Mdoggie]

I hate “need” post.

Not Immediately by any means.

 

[gold2323]

I meant perhaps before anyone else
They seem to have a direct line to Coach Auriemma…..
Regardless this is an excruciating wait….
Hoping for good news….without Paige all will never be the same….she is all that and more.

 

[Huskee11]

I've never been in a virtual hospital waiting room before, but here we are.

 

[LoboDays]

I demand that the doctors post the MRI images here before results are reported anywhere else. Don’t they know who we are?

 

[EricSD]

Obviously as fans, we all want good news. But I can't imagine what Paige is going thru - the not knowing for sure.

We read all about her relationship with Azzi while her best friend recuperated from her injuries and surgeries. How hard it was for Azzi, but also it was hard on Paige seeing her best friend hurt and suffering.

Praying for good news. And for courage for Paige, her family, friends, and teammates to handle whatever comes her way...

 

[Jmsdawg]

I just saw the Paige injury on YouTube. My heart is with my BY friends, My prayers are with Paige.

You posted what thousands of other BYers were thinking but couldn’t or didn’t want to post. Thanks!!

I get that, Phil. I just think that fans’ expectations that they should get whatever they want when they want it, be it 40+ blowouts from day one, medical test results, certain statements in a certain way from Geno, etc gives off a whiff of entitlement.

 

[phil sampieri]

If want to hear is better than need to hear sounds better then I really want to hear along with all boneyarders and the few English professors among them.

You might throw in caring also.

It's not your daughter.

UCONN does own a hospital ? If that is true, we should have some pull in getting a technician and radiologist

 

[Bigboote]

Geez, the last time I had an MRI I had to wait probably two days for the results. Then it took another two days to finally get hold of the radiologist and ask him if he really meant what he said in the report. He didn't.

 

[CTBballfan243]

I have no “accredited” medical training but have spent years watching medical shows such as Emergency, Doogie Howser, M.D., ER, House, The Good Doctor, and Grey’s Anatomy to name a few. So I’d like to offer my help with the diagnosis to the actual medical doctors, or help with interpreting the results for the boneyard. I’ll just stand-by on call.

 

[jchusky]

assuming the longer the wait, the more serious the injury might be.

 

[Zorro]

We are ALL very anxious!

Oh boy, I have an MRI scheduled for tomorrow - hope my experience is a bit better than yours BB...!

And if Paige didn’t disclose the exact nature of the injury nobody can without her HIPPA waiver.

I would edit your comment and say "assuming the longer the wait, the more serious speculation from fans like me that the injury must be more serious!"

Before they can do any tests the swelling has to go down to a certain amount. It was over 24 hours before the Army could do a MRI on my Achilles tendon rupture due to the swelling. By the way I got it from stepping off of a curb while walking.
