Phone Anxiety

Fun fact! Phone anxiety only gets worse when it's literally a matter of life and death

From the comments

James Petrosky: Okay I whine but I think it's all done. Turns out the trick is to short circuit my worry circuits with the care circuits by putting "order flee medication for Thomasin" last because I will always put off stuff for me but cats are much too important
James Petrosky: To anyone worrying, it's important but not iminant. I need to get some CT scan results to someone at another hospital, but apparently the best/only way to so that is a USB drive.

James Petrosky: It's not like I'm not calling an ambulance because I'm too nervous, is what I mean.
Stefanie: James Petrosky really in this day and age they can’t send the files over in a better more accessible way? That’s really unfortunate
James Petrosky: Stefanie patient confidentiality is the killer, I think
Stefanie: James Petrosky it makes sense but it’s unfortunate given you probably can’t like mail it
James Petrosky: Stefanie I think it's a USB drive, so I might be able to mail it. Once I have it I'm calling and asking how they want it sent
James Petrosky: It's a CD/DVD. What is this, 2005?
I can't even look at the files 😆
Stefanie: James Petrosky damn that’s really old school (says the nurse who was still sending out patients with CDs last year 😆) yeah you probably can’t because of software needs and they put some super security measures on them for confidentiality
James Petrosky: Stefanie no I can't because I haven't owned a CD drive in almost a decade
