Bloody hell. The podiatrist can't see me until September 17 to interpret the MRI images.
You can bet I'll be reading up on MRIs and trying to figure them out myself.
DM, was yours a stand-up MRI? I've heard those are a lot quieter. Also, I was in a 3 tesla machine (they range from 1 tesla to 3 tesla). I suspect the bigger magnets make for bigger bangs.
Wow, no swallowing or breathing. I'm glad I wasn't in that boat. I guess they could have put you under and stopped your heart...
BTW, my younger brother almost punched out everyone in the room when he got his first MRI. He was bellowing the moment they put him in, and they had to yank him out and he was in a fighting state, lemme tell ya. After that, he forces them to put him under first.
I wasn't fully inside this sucker, but mostly. I don't think I would have a problem going all the way. I mean, I wanted to be an astronaut. Have you seen astronauts being jammed into those bulky spacesuits, then having the helmet fitted onto their heads? You won't be seeing many claustrophobics in space, that's for sure.
