Took my mom to see Dr. Boluw (temporarily filling in for Dr. Romero) this afternoon after a few days of suffering from mysterious and intermittent back pains. Dr. Boluw was very patient (oxymoron?), friendly and thorough with her questions. She even ordered a couple of x-rays, which we took care of right afterwards. Hopefully it can be taken care of quickly and easily, once all the test results come back.
In the examination room we were greeted with a plethora of physiology wall charts, none of which had anything to do with my mom’s condition. Below is a photo of one such descriptive chart.
