Quoted from a previous rants thread. Jennifer apparently made it to her MRI appointment. Or perhaps a later one after she missed the message I got and tried but failed to forward to anyone who would listen. But she did get an MRI, because I now have a message with a number that I can call to get the results.

Maybe I should call the number and find out if she’s OK? --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/rant-write-and-boo-july-mini-rants/1031327)._
