I agree with you. Since numbers (size) determine when surgery will be performed, the technicians must be more careful. I have an AAA, and my last scan stated it was 3.3. Last year, the scan stated 3.6. The doctor said he will operate when it's 5.0. What and who are we supposed to believe when the doctor doesn't even notice? I just had a popliteal aneurysm bypass because it was over 2.0. They found another popliteal aneurysm in my other leg and didn't even specify the size of it. When I brought it to the doctor, he said, "That's strange." I am so frustrated and angry over this.
