Holy Cross Dorothy Mangurian Comprehensive Women’s Center

It was time for a mammogram and I always stick to Holy Cross facilities, since we’ve had pretty good luck there.
I’ve got to admit, the lady who scheduled the test was a bit of a twit, and I had to repeat everything at least 3 – 4 times, but I don’t think she actually works for the women’s center. Other than that, I was able to pick whatever day I wanted, which was pretty nice. You have to go in 30 min. early to complete the inevitable paperwork that makes the world go ’round. Everyone was very nice and quick at their job.
We got there right on time, it only took me about 5 min. to do the form. Since HC had called and preregistered me, there was only one page. The waiting area was nice, lots of chairs, coffee, water, etc. After waiting only about 5 min., I was ushered back to finish registration by signing some stuff and proving that I had insurance. Then it was off to change into the obligatory pink gown and another waiting area with a big TV, set on «The Chew.»
It was about 20 min. of sitting there when I got called back for the mammo. Naturally, having my boobs cleaned and pressed is not my favorite activity. I always clean them at home, but if you want them truly flat and wrinkle free, you really need one of these dandy machines with the big squishing plates. So I took my double breasted birthday suit and stepped up to the plates.
Generally, this test is uncomfortable but not painful. This time, as she positioned the left side, I let out a Unilocal (No, not a Unilocal,totally different things), heretofore unheard from my lips. «Are you okay?,» she asked. «Mmm…mamamamaybe,» I responded through clenched teeth. She very quickly loosened the plates, made some technical adjustments and tried again. This time it was okay. She was very apologetic and finished up quickly.
The whole thing from in the front door to back to the car was less than an hour, not bad by todays standards. I haven’t really checked, but I’m pretty sure I’m totally wrinkle free… especially on that left side.
