Regularly, like she's practicing? Or, regularly, like once a lifetime? Or, regularly like she wants to make sure it fits at any time it's necessary? Still, it's only my humble opinion, MRIs must 'fit' a little more snugly than a coffin.
She's just very prepared - Caskets are expensive, and your relatives can have poor taste. Buy now, die later, and choose a comfortable, stylish and well-fitting eternal resting space.
I'm not that claustrophobic, but when I had my first MRI, 25 years ago, the hospital lost power (for real!) and they nurse couldn't get the emergency release to work for nearly an hour. By then I WAS claustophobic.
Just think, Dr. G. This poor woman has been waiting years, perhaps many years, to make this comment to someone she could sufficiently impress. If she had told this to her harried pharmacist who'd been yelled at all day by impatient patients, without a bathroom break, and the WRONG SHOES, they'd probably muttered (under their breath), "yeah, you and who else?"
Checking the casks at the factory for for draughts, so the customer could sleep comfortably? Or for cracks through which Count Dracula could gain access?
