Dr. Grumpy: "I want to do an MRI. Are you claustrophobic?"
Mrs. Webster: "Very. I can't handle heights at all."
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Mrs. Webster: "Very. I can't handle heights at all."
Welcome to my whining!
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

I'm having an MRI on Sunday. It's a Standing MRI.....do you have that option for your patients?
I'm debating if I should start laughing inappropriately now or try to give the patient the benefit of the doubt and assume her first language isn't English...
First language is English.
I had a conversation this morning about phalanx/phalanges/fingerbones/ancient greek fighting formations.
The only thing I can say with certainly is that there are no people who truly understand the English language.
Love the fact you named her:
"Mrs Webster". hahahaha
... I could never hold still long enough in a standing MRI but than again, my scans are almost 2 hrs long so I prefer to fall asleep for the duration. Though certain things I’d like to see how different the findings look while sitting/standing.
Maybe the local mrs. webster’s MRI place is on an old olympus towering top.
So what's the one word for fear of heights?
And does it stop you joining the mile high club?
She and Marie should get together to discuss perimeters and phobias...with a secret video camera - could give you good fodder for your blog!
WV: getrar. Getrarophobia?
Hope the scanner she goes to is on the ground floor...
::sigh:: Yet another person who was not taught prefixes, roots & suffixes. Of course, I started in on those in sixth grade as did my children both of whom are taking Latin. I would have done so myself but it wasn't offered at my high school so I had to take German as a second best. Then it wasn't offered at the university I attended ::rolls eyes:: so I continued taking German since it's the second technical language behind English. Geez Louise!
@The Mother - I was forced by my mother and late grandmother to learn English as they were both English majors for their undergraduate degrees. My grandmother would say things such as, "I beg your pardon but we speak English in this house." or "I'm afraid I could not understand you. Could you please repeat that in English?"
You must have some wicked old-school MRI's where you are.
@Eunoia
That would be Acrophobia

Not sure about the Mile High Club or residents of Denver.
