I AM NOT LYING!

When I first had my very first MRI, I didn't know what
it was, the Doctor simply said it was a special X-Ray
Machine. And I thought, well OK. So I went in, I was
MORTIFIED to see this, what looked like "Star Trek
Space Tube" ~ since this was a long, long time ago
(I've had a lot of MRI's performed since) - these Techs
were well trained in dealing with patients fears.

So they got this guy out and 2 girls and I can remember
because they had me laughing so hard and it went some
thing like this (All the girls were doing were holding signs
behind him and then making circles behind their ears (you
know like - he's crazy)...)

GUY: I'm gonna put you in this tube and it's gonna suck
you in and I got this bull whip (he's holding it) here to beat
this machine to get you out when we're done

GIRL: (Holding sign) HE'S LYING

OTHER GIRL: (circling her ear and shaking her head)

GUY: This machine is gonna suck all the life out of you
and a whole bunch of aliens are going to enter inside of
you.

GIRL: (Holding another sign) HE'S NUTS

OTHER GIRL: (Holding another sign) HE SHOULDN'T BE
WORKING HERE

(I forget what all was said)

But they had me laughing so hard - I don't know who
I was laughing at - HIM or the GIRLS.

But I could tell they've used these signs a lot as it
was pretty worn. But they did tell me it would make
noises and asked me what music I liked to listen to.

And after my first MRI, it wasn't bad at all, in fact,
they even let me see some of the pictures and I
thought it was cool!



I wonder if they required these MRI Techs to take
DRAMA? Because they were very good at it!

I never did become fearful of MRI Machines since,
because of them. ALIENS? LOL!
