Mailing MRIs

[Carole]

Anyone ever mail an MRI to TCH. I would like to have Dr. Nath look at it. He told us to get one and our other doctor wanted one too. Does he normally do this. Should I call Lisa Davis and check or just mail it and does anyone have the address again. Thanks!

My hospital sent my sons MRI to them and TCH sent it back to them since it is the hospital's policy.

I would ask the hospital to send it to TCH. They do that sort of stuff all the time. I never had to mail ours b/c I just brought the films with me, but if I wasn't going there, I would've asked the hospital to send them. -Tina

Hi Carole,
I have mailed Amanda's mri to TCH. I requested a copy of the films when the mri was done so I had my own copy to send. But I guess it would be just as easy to have the hospital send them directly. I'm still waiting for word from TCH as the doctors haven't had a chance to look at them yet. Good Luck!

I mailed Maia's myself so that I could be sure that they got there. I went to Staples and they took a box that was not yet folded (a rectangular box) = we put the scans in there- kept it flat and sealed up all the sides with waterproof packing tape. Then I sent it priority with confirmation.

It didn't even cost too much to do this.

I guess I don't trust hospitals to get anything right anymore...sorry.
