    Dr Borno took time to review my scan and found something questionable. She proceeded to request an MRI to determine if there is any cause. I am glad she is my doctor

    Dr. Borno ordered a blood transfusion, then an MRI when I mentioned my overall rising fatigue and difficulty raising my legs into my auto. The transfusion occurred promptly. I feel I have more energy and breath. Awaiting MRI, following instructions to avoid burden on vertebrae and monitoring symptoms that may indicate a further vertebrae deformity
