Default An hour? The frontalis, levator?

I finally had an EMG on my face this year, but this thread is making me question the results.

1. It's supposed to take an hour? My total EMG with arms and legs and face took less than half an hour, and he only spent maybe 5 minutes on my face. He said he was checking for both myasthenia and myotonia.

2. He did not do anything directly on my eyelid, the equipment was placed at the facial nerve behind the ear and on the portion of the orbicularis muscle directly to the left of my left eye. Should there have been direct stimulation to the eyelid or the forehead?

I was told my results were normal. Based on anything above, should I be doubtful?
