Due to a recent traffic accident (where I was hit from behind in my car), I’ve been experiencing neck and lower back pain. My chiropractor recommended an MRI scan of those areas.
I had my first-ever MRI, and I’ll admit I was a tad nervous.
Mostly because of the claustrophobic thing. But also because of the magnetized machinery thing.
NOTE: The entire MRI scanner is magnetized such that it’s strong enough to send things like hospital gurneys, floor buffer machines, and office equipment flying across the room in the process of being sucked into the machine itself!
Those visuals — and stories about MRI scans like these — were stuck in my brain the entire time.
But, I also managed to find some humorous things about the whole process of getting an MRI.
