When I was in ICU all they could so was take xrays. I was hooked up to oxygen, and wired sensors and monitors and alarms, I couldn’t even move there was so much stuff.

The MRI is located in another building. They would have to have moved bed and all that stuff simultaneously.

I have had MRI’s and CAT scans but not at that time. Had a head scan where they put my head in a cage and bolted it down so I couldn’t move it...................

ICU patients, even those who are intubated and on ventilators, can be and are transported to MRI scanners every day

I was a critical care nurse for 6 years and have been a nurse anesthetist for almost 20. Your allegations are false

They moved the bed and equipment simultaneously for my wife from ER and another time from the ICU when she was sedated on a ventilator machine. Not a fun experience.

I have a brain scan every couple of years. (They bring in med students to show them my glorious colloid cyst—I call it my pea brain.)

They wouldn’t be able to bring in any of that equipment where an MRI is working. Too much metal. It would turn into shrapnel.
