My MRI Brain Scan just got questions, any input?

If your regular doctor has access to these results you should ask for an appointment to go over them rather than waiting.

You need to ask:
What does this mean in plain English?
What does it mean for me now? Are any of my symptoms attributed to this?
And most importantly:
Could it lead to any consequences in the future, and what might that look like?

Take a notebook, recorder or a friend with you, and ask for a list of terms that you can google.

Have you directly contacted the clinic that did the analysis?  That's what I did, asking always that I be sent a copy of the results directly.   Then I called either my sister when she was alive, or one of my friends who was a nurse, to get interpretations if I couldn't understand them after researching the results.

There used to be an excellent online source with lists of the common tests and the result ranges.    I haven't used it in years though, and don't know w/o research if it's still online.

And is it "mesial" or "medial"?   Just curious b/c I got hits for both conditions.

I also wouldn't wait until January for result interpretation.   If there's no PA or NP  in the neurologist's office to get you in earlier for an explanation, I also would try another neurologist.   Or, you could even try urgent care, emphasizing the fear aroused from the mention of a brain hemorrhage.   That's certainly a legitimate concern.

Why does it matter if the hospital is swamped? The doctor who ordered the MRI is the one to see. Is he associated with the hospital? Does he have an offsight office. Maybe a Nurse Practitioner who can go over the findings and explain.

I suggest you talk to a caseworker at your local Social Service office to see what resources are out there for you. Medicaid is out there for Healthcare but there is an income cap. Some States have prescription plans which also are based on income. Housing is usually HUD. They subsidize apartments and help with rent on other apartments. There are low income apts. Food stamps.

Call your County Office of Aging to see what resources they can supply.

Yes I agree along with the response to your posting. I’d like to add that if you could do a virtual appointment through FaceTime they might be able to get you in sooner. Also if you call when they open daily they may have cancellations & be able to get you in. I think it’s good you’re asking for advice. Now is a good information gathering time from all sources.

MRI will only show physical problems it will not show depression, anxiety or other "mental, emotional" status.
I would call the doctor's office and ask given the results would the doctor want to see you sooner? You can also asked to be called if there are any cancellations.
(frankly I would be upset if my follow up was not for 4 or 5 months!.. ok, upset is putting it mildly I would flat out be pissed!)
You could also call another doctor and see if you can get an appointment with someone else sooner and say you have the results from a recent MRI.
