When I had arrived at the office for my second EMG, I guess I was supposed to have a copy of the order. My Dr never gave it to me. They called his office and spoke to them. Then I was taken back for the test. She said she was going to test neck and shoulder area. I told her I supposidly have cervical ribs, didn't know if that would make any difference. She didn't know what they were. In the middle of me describing my symptoms (didn't get to finish), she decided it sounded like what she had when she tore a tendon near her elbow and suggested that was where my problem was. I told her that the previous EMG was elbow down and it was to look for tennis elbow and carpal tunnel and was negative. She insisted he didn't do the test right, so she did elbow down again.
