<< Sharon, JanH here. When I had the MRI of
my brain, they still put the music earphones
on. They just warned me not to move and I
was scared enough that I obeyed! The techs
talked me through all 3 MRIs and also took me
out of the 'tube' between each test while they
set up the next one. I never was given anything
to calm, the techs just did that as they talked
me through each test. Wonderful care! Doesn't
mean I like the MRIs!!! JanH >>
Jan H:
It does help to have good technicians. My first MRI tech was such a flake and
didn't know the answers to any of my questions. She didn't tell me that she
could hear me if I felt like I needed her. The second tech explained
everything and assured me he could hear me all the time. I felt much better.
Or maybe it was the Valium! Who knows??? I laughed when you said you were
too scared to move. I felt the same way--they said don't move and I was
afraid to breathe. I was afraid to even swallow! LOL...
