Are you sure he does not have the proverbial plate in the head?
Oh I see, you're going to do one of those special group MRIs, sort of like a family portrait from Sears...
BWAHahahahaha!

Hmm.. I'm wondering if he was nervous. I know people tend to ramble on forever in those states. A defense mechanism I guess.
As to why he was nervous, perhaps because he was the newest recipient of a Grumpy blog, and didn't want to make an ass of himself, lol.
Made me chuckle!

Would it help to know that I have a metal plate in my chin, and two screws in my jaw?
"...and my youngest son likes to listen to that heavy metal music..."
Maybe he thought you were pre-screening for the FAA.
Thanks. This completes my "metals in humans" survey.
yo, I feel your pain. How may times have I asked a pt "what time did you eat last?" that I have heard- A piece of toast and a soft boiled egg after the news, then a yogurt that didn't sit well... or...well, last night I got up hungry, finished the turkey tetrazzini, brushed my teeth then went back to bed... As if I'd cared about WHAT they had to eat!
I get the same thing at the pharmacy.
Me: "Have we ever filled a prescription here for you before?"
Customer: "Oh yes. My spouse (kid, sister in-law, cousin, next door neighbor etc) comes here all the time."
Me: "Ok, but what about you? Have YOU ever been here before?"
Customer: "Oh, I see. Yes, I've been here before. Well, not here, but your other pharmacy the next town over."
Me: "I see. Ok, well I need to get all of your information then."
Customer: "Can't you just call over there and get it?"
In the time it took me to get all of that useless information, I could have been halfway done filling their Rx. These are also the people that come back 4 minutes later to see if it is done.
Now that is some good family history.
lol.
