I have chosen an open MRI. I cannot even imagine having a closed MRI. The idea of being put into a capsule while tests are being done is too much for me to bear. Once again, I submit medical information. I think we should all have Medical History Resumes, that we can hand out each time we go to a different doctor’s office, don’t you? One less thing to worry about. Anyway, I am brought into this huge room and told to lie on the table. I am instructed to lie very, very still. I then have some sort of weird-looking band wrapped tightly around my head. I imagine I look a bit like Frankenstein’s monster on the table. I am offered a set of headphones and asked to pick a radio station so I can listen to music. Since I have never had an MRI before, I’m thinking this is pretty cool and is going to be a piece of cake. I am warned that the “sound” from the MRI device may be a little loud, so I brace myself. Well, folks, loud is an understatement! Picture a jackhammer going off right next to your ears…and try to lie perfectly still. The music is completely drowned out by the noise. I chose hard-rock, by the way…
