Aargh, that's not good. Here is my suggestion, I'm an insurance nurse. Call your physician's office in the morning and tell them you are on Friday's schedule for the CT scan of your chest, but the hospital can't schedule you for the ultrasound of your legs until May 15. And can your doctor intervene to get the test on your legs done on Friday as well. Maybe, if your doctor makes some noise, the hospital will get you in for the ultrasound on your legs on Friday, since you'll be over there for the CT scan already. One thing I have learned in the insurance world is that if you want to be the wheel that gets the oil, you have to squeak.
