According to our records you have not contacted this practice since
2001, if you have moved from the area or died would you please advise
us of this fact"

Wow.

(I was going to say more, but I think "wow" says enough.)

I might be the only woman in the world who is not at all bothered by
mammograms. Not to say I enjoy them or anything. :) But I don't find
them in the least bit painful. I remember the first time I had one, I
had prepared myself psychologically for agony, after all I'd heard
about them. And it was nothing! Just a minor inconvenience.

Here's a related amusing quip:

Who ever thought up the word "mammogram"? Every time I hear it, I
think I'm supposed to put my breast in an envelope and send it to
someone. -- Jan King

I have no idea who Jan King is, but I'd like to!
