Liar!

Patients lie. We all know that sometimes it's more obvious than others, but for one reason or another patients will lie to us about history, drug use, etc. I understand and accept that to a certain degree. What I don't understand is why lie about getting imaging done? You won't get your procedure or prescription any faster. You WILL waste an hour of my time while I try to track down your doctor or the hospital or facility where you supposedly had it done only to find they have no record of it. And you get to sit in our cold exam room for another hour instead of simply getting the order for your MRI and getting to leave.
