I know it's just the language, but my wife and I got a kick when the results of her CT scan said her reproductive organs were "grossly unremarkable"

Remarkable
Dear madam,
You have my remarks.
Imagine having one of them be remarkable. That would make an odd pait
I once had a fling with a gal who had one B cup breast and one C cup breast... I personally found that 'remarkable', but I think the doctor here is more interested in skin abberations and lumps, or maybe signifcant/severe distension, lol.
It’s mammogram results.
Yeah we know
Was replying to OP who thought it was about distended breasts or skin issues.
Hey for what its worth, I didn't downvote you.
I'm not a woman and have not had a mammogram, but how do you know its a mammogram?
Couldn't an 'exam' be a manual examination, as in, the doc uses his/her eyes and hands?
Typically you would not be mailed results from a manual exam, the doctor discusses it with you at the time, adds it to your medical record, advises further action on anything “remarkable” and schedules that for you at the time.
The mammographer is not a doctor and is not allowed to analyze or discuss your results, they get sent to a doctor for that and then you get a letter in the mail about your hopefully unremarkable breasts.
You might be mailed results if you had a biopsy, but they would say “negative.” They would call you with a positive, benign or malignant result.
Every doctor visit I've ever had, for anything, since roughly 2010, possibly earlier, ends with them handing me a packet of paper that describes the doctor's evaluation of me during that visit.
Usually at least 3 pages long, sometimes longer.
You didn't downvote him, but you can't stop me from downvoting myself.
I helped!
or have a description with three remarks
One of the greatest things a doctor can tell you is if something is generally unremarkable.
Because if it is remarkable there's generally something there you don't want.
Right. Hence the entire basis of the joke.
It sounds bad at first glance, but yes. Anything that a medical professional will consider "remarkable" is generally something you don't want.
Most should consider "unremarkable" as meaning "nothing out of the ordinary", aka, they found only what they expected to find.
Though not always. Having an extra healthy kidney would be remarkable but not really bad.
Look inside: remarks
Yeah okay
I’ll be the judge of that
I bet I could remark them
Only if they've been marked before.
Middle breast: Quite remarkable
Wrekd
This is how doc makes money on referrals to their friend who specializes in breast augmentation.
she cute
