Default Venting with question

Hi again. I hope evryone is doing well today.

I just need to vent a little and hope that's okay. My neuro's office called to give me my latest MRI results on Tuesday. For the first time ever, the nurse called instead of the neuro himself, which I thought odd but simply assumed he was busy. She said that there were no changes which is great news!

But...my neuro still wants me to do another brain scan in November. What? That makes no sense to me whatsoever! If there were no changes then why do it again in just seven weeks? I was getting angry with her explaining that it costs ME every time and I find it ridiculous to do it so soon if there was nothing new seen on the last scans. All she said was that he (the neuro) was pretty insistent that I do the scan in November and keep the appointment to see him afterwards. And why go over them in his office when we usually do it over the phone?

He's now on vacation for two weeks and I can't talk to him until he gets back. But I will NOT do this scan in November unless he gives me a valid reason why he feels I should. Why would he do it so soon? Is there something he's not telling me? Did he just not want to deal with it before his precious vacation? Ugh...

Has anyone had MRI's so close together before like that?

Allright, I feel a little better getting it of my chest to people who I know will understand. Thanks for listening.
