I said I wasn't sure because I don't tend to crawl into said small spaces :-)<br /><br />I suppose the difference between an electrician's usual job and being inside an MRI is the fact that you're immobile for the duration and surrounded by all that noise. It is, indeed, a strange experience. I've also literally just got back from the hospital after having my CT scan. I feel another post coming on...Simon B https://www.blogger.com/profile/07719757386457800087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470510671824637475.post-59055862634167043242013-01-30T12:25:46.219+00:002013-01-30T12:25:46.219+00:00That would definitely cause a problem for the MRI....That would definitely cause a problem for the MRI. They go through a whole checklist of questions: Do you have any metal plates? Dentures? Pacemaker? Are you a T1000 Terminator from the future here to ensure the final victory of Skynet over the human race?Simon B https://www.blogger.com/profile/07719757386457800087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470510671824637475.post-17416857456106467312013-01-30T12:24:58.495+00:002013-01-30T12:24:58.495+00:00First time I had an MRI scan, I panicked because o...First time I had an MRI scan, I panicked because of the confined space and had to be taken out of it until I could psyche myself up. This was unusual for me, because I'd never had a problem with confined spaces before. The nurse said that it wasn't unusual, and that electricians used to crawling under floorboards when rewiring houses, etc., had also reacted in the same way when having an MRI. Strange that, eh?Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470510671824637475.post-2517758759872692392013-01-30T06:37:11.997+00:002013-01-30T06:37:11.997+00:00I have metal shot in my head so I suspect I can...I have metal shot in my head so I suspect I can't get one of those without have them pulled out...which I wouldn't mind having done because they are annoying.Kalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663751053844271849noreply@blogger.com
