a metal cage? that doesnt sound like an mri. ur inside a tube with 2'' of space all around u. and acidburn, when i got that rod up my pooper, it would like snag on the polyps and make it worse, causing severe bleeding and the lining of my intestines to be ripped off. btw diplexers or wte,

endoscopy = scope

sucks don't it? i used to have hella asthma, and my dad's a lung doctor so he took me to his friend who did it. i'll never have that done again.

well i had an MRI today, and i have to say its not a very good experience. being im not a small person, they stuff u in this tube where u ahve about 2-3 inches of space around ur head. i think its like illegal to give it to someone whose claustrophobic without valium my dad said. well, i don't recommend it if you absolutely dont have to do it. to make it worse, i had to have this dye injected into my rotator cuff so that it would show up on the MRI read out. the guy missed the first time, and this needle is 4'' long and goes all the way into ur arm. well he did it finally. then to top it off, while ur in the tube, the machine sounds like a jackhammer right next to ur ear. who else has had to go through this?

Hospital's try not to sedate anyone...The less sedations the better the Hospital looks. IDK about it being illegal for a person to be in the machine if they are claustrophobic, they are there on their own will afterall.

That dye is contrast....Helps the radiologist compare to the non-contasted series you had done...

I've had a couple. What's so bad about them? You just lay there and don't move, or they do it again...and again...and again. There are far worse things out there. How about a bone marrow transplant? You can hear the screams all throughout the place.
