To the editor:

I recently had a mammogram procedure at Whidbey General Hospital South Whidbey Clinic in Clinton and I simply want to comment on how smoothly and professionally it was done.

I have had many mammograms made on a regular basis and they have all been done well. But in this most recent instance the technician went out of her way to assure not only my comfort but to also invite me to look at each image as it was made. Modern digital equipment produces amazingly sharp images and with the help of the technician I was able to see several kinds of tissue which was fascinating to me. It was a wonderful, educational experience.

Thank you, South Whidbey Clinic.
