I don't know why this is such a difficult concept - but digital makes things EASIER folks. Do NOT use the fact that you aren't using film to excuse why you can't do what I *know* you can do.
What-the-frick-is-she-talking-about, you ask. And rightly so!
On Friday I took a dog in to the vet to have an OFA x-ray for her hips and elbows. That was seriously not supposed to be difficult. I've done it for all of my dogs after they turn 2 years old, plus various puppy buyers have done the same and sent the x-rays to me for submission. I've seen a lot of Basenji x-rays, folks. Basenjis are "medium" sized dogs, but really, they're small. All the way from their hips to their elbows fit on one x-ray. I swear. However, when I looked at the x-ray on the CD the vet tech gave me - they did her hips to her toes. No elbows. I'm not that anatomically challenged that I don't recognize where elbows are supposed to be.
Fine, no problem, maybe they made a mistake and left the elbow x-ray off of the CD I have to submit. However, when I called - they said they had no idea that I wanted her elbows in the shot (we did discuss it and I filled out the form correctly [I checked]) but now they want another $$ for the new x-ray and $$ for the anesthetic - but they'll make an exception for me, since there was a mistake and they'll let me bring her back next Saturday. Gee, thanks. The only excuse I got from them was, "well, this is a digital x-ray, not film". Honey, digital makes it easier, not harder. Is this frickin' backwards day?
It comes down to the fact that for some unknown reason no one knows how to read anymore. I always tell people, "I can't help you, if you can't read." It has absolutely nothing to do with illiteracy, it has to do with no one paying attention anymore!
