I had the most painful mammogram procedure in my entire life on 9/28/2016 and I have been getting regular ones since I turned 40 so this was not my first rodeo. The technician keeps changing every time I go there so it's throw your dice and see if you get a more gentle person or not, see if this one is more knowledgeable or not, compassionate or not, you get the picture. Well, I should have suspected something was amidst when I saw the previous women not making any eye contact as they fled for their cars. I thought it was strange but just wrote it off as the embarrassment of having this study on such a personal body part, but no, no, no was I wrong, very, very, wrong. She, the lone tech was a sadist twisting my breasts further when I told her I hurt and finally when I was on the verge of tears yelling and screaming out she would yell back at me that "we do want a good study, don't we?". She would then twist harder and make me scream at the top of my lungs. I have a high pain tolerance, having stayed at home with 4 foot fractures nursing what I thought was a bad ankle sprain, for example. She continued to torture me all throughout the study. I yelled at her that the previous technicians never did this to me yet did they not get good studies. She retorted that she was the best one, but she seemed so young so I doubted it very much; likely the best at S&M. It was so traumatic that I ended up as one of those women fleeing for my car with my eyes downcast not making any eye contact because of the tears I had from pain. It was more painful than my 19 hour labor after which the nurses outside of my room said I was so quiet that they did not know I was in there. Now that says something when I am screaming in pain. I will NEVER return to this place again and am writing this review now because I just got my reminder to get another study. I got a copy of my mammogram report and it's the same as all the previous years, "good quality", so not worth all that horrific pain, is it? At the least mammography technicians ought to stay longer than a year and being isolated where loud screams cannot be heard by anyone, how dangerous is that? read more
