Don't make me more nervous than I already am! Got mixed up in the x ray room one day last week. Was supposed to have a chest x ray and the girl said to drop my pants and lay down. She proceeded to take a picture of my privates and then said thanks Mr Williams, we got a good picture. I said my name is Armstrong and she said she was supposed to do a chest x ray of me and I said I just though my chest had fallen. She said put my pants on and take off my shirt! I'm about to get cold feet on all my tests.
