Burger Radiologist Arwyp, worst experience ever.

I went for a mammogram yesterday at the Arwyp branch. The person that did the mammogram was so rough with my left breast that it tore underneath and the skin came off. I had to put on antiseptic ointment and can't wear a bra since it hurts too much. I had tears in my eyes during the exam, and I went for many before. Worst experience ever, I feel violated.

Thank you, I scar easy and it is on a place that is a high risk for infection. I'm going to see a doctor since it's very sore and will have to take time off work to go and look if I can buy a few t-shirt bra's that hopefully will not hurt as much.

The student that took my ultrasound also saw what happened right after the mammogram.

Dear Karen,
I have spoken to the radiographer and the sonographer and have taken the necessary steps to make sure that your experience will not be repeated.
Kind regards
