Consulting Doctor on completion of Initial treatment

When I discovered a lump under my right arm (eeeek!) I coincidentally had an appointment with my cardiologist the next day. He "spoke nicely" to the ultrasound team, who scanned it 20 minutes 
later, rang my surgeon, and biopsied it! Turned out to be nothing to worry about, but a useful counter to the stories of people left waiting or dangling while the professionals go through the process!
