In my case, it is the GP who can’t get an appointment to see me. I get messages from time to time asking me to go in for this check, or that check, but I simply don’t have the time to fit them in. I usually text back suggesting they try again tomorrow.

Going through my CT scan results and translating them into understandable English is being made harder by the many spelling mistakes.

So illegible writing AND spelling mistakes…is this all part of their learning I wonder? Do they get credit points for that on their degree, I wonder? 
Lets not forget that these reports will be typed either on a word processor or PC which will have a spellcheck?
Seemingly I have apposing cords in the larynx which of course should be opposing chords.

Fair point, yes…clearly not paying attention to the red squiggly line then!
Jeez…that is worrying although it is actually a word?
So which do they really mean then?
Thanks for the info. Unfortunately even Google is flummoxed by this but I am going to try and speak to a particular GP sometime this week and see if she can spread any light. I not concerned about my larynx only insofar as my voice is really naff now.
But there are other issue which I definitely need reassurance about.
But as the CT scan covered my neck, lower part of my skull and chest its difficult to know which specialist one should see, but hopefully my GP can enlighten me but of course I need to actually get her on the other end of the phone first which in itself can be a challenge these days.

What GP? We don’t have one. We do have a virtual doctor but it costs us to use it whereas normally it wouldn’t. We did however understand that medical services in this province are seriously lacking.
As I have no idea where you are your post is a tad confusing?

No, actually ‘cords’ is correct. Chords are music.
I remember many years ago in my radiography training, one of the other students had written the words ‘tenderness chords’, rather than ‘tendinous cords’ (things that retain the heart valves) and the Principal made a joke about ‘love and heart strings’, and it sort of stuck with me ever since.
Yes sorry got it the wrong way round and as you only have a limited time to edit it remains wrong.

A minor error. We all make them.

This is me, I have read my report and appreciate am not trained but how they interpret these images is both baffling and awe inspiring.

Umm…what is this? It looks like a scan of your head, as if someone is looking down on you as you face front…ears at the side, and the nose at the top.
disclaimer: I am not well versed in medicine, scans, or anything of that nature.
You had me fooled, I was just about to PM you about a lump I have in my nether regions.

I should also have mentioned my overly ham fisted approach to examinations…mainly consisting of bashing to see how loud you yell. If you have energy to shout, you aren’t in pain. 
Ah ha a dominatrix.
I’m not an expert, but one thing which is fairly easy is to compare both sides.
You seem to have a lot of gunk in one of your maxillary sinuses!
(Incidentally, they could have positioned your head a little straighter.)
