A member asked:
Radiologist who performed biopsy was one year out of breast radiology fellowship-- is it likely they got the right area? had it reviewed by other drs.

Well that's pretty: Good, you had a radiologist that spend six years of training and one year dedicated to nothing but breast training. The radiologist is capable of making a mistake, sure, but so is a radiologist with 20 years of training under his/her belt.
