About 25 years ago I was having a pain right about where my right kidney is. I had lost a coworker and friend younger than I was, to kidney cancer. I went to my doc, and he poked around and sent me in for test. I drank some concoction that would make a scan of my kidneys show up. They said they would call the doc with the results the next day. I called the docs office twice to find out the results after they had not called me. It was almost 6:00 PM before he called me and said all was fine, the pain is likely just a muscle pull.

I was a bit mad , and told him I don't care how busy he was, he could take 10 seconds to tell one of the nurses or the office staff to call me and tell me everything is fine, and relax, I don't have kidney cancer, and the doctor will call me later.

I was rather concerned all day expecting a dire diagnosis. It was a huge relief to find I had just a muscle pull.
