Ever had an MRI?

I have. They ask a whole bunch of questions about metal in and on your body. I strongly advise anyone about to have an MRI to answer those questions honestly and completely. Too much information is better than not enough.

Did they ask “Is your nurse going to bring a wheelchair into the exam room?”

I worry about people who don’t realize they have medal. There are people who don’t even know who the president is.

They sure do, when I had mine , several different people asked at different times before I entered the MRI room.

A changing room was down the hall. Just you in your undies and a hospital gown go into the MRI room.

Was this Charlie’s No Mess MRI and Wheel Balancing Center ?

My father-in-law had an MRI. He told them he had a knee replacement. They said that would not be a problem.

The machine twisted his leg in knots, with his foot up beside his head. They heard his screams and turned the machine off.

Doctors said the mangled knee replacement was too much of a mess to try and remove.

He never walked again. He had always been very active, but now couldn’t get out of bed without help. He died less than a year later.
