It’s a damn good thing Hannibal could smell the encephalitis; because there’s no fucking way that scan was worth a goddamn.

CYOA: You are one of three promising young doctors working under a brilliant diagnostician, and you're also the narrative's stand-ins for the three structural agents of a man's psyche. One of you is destined to inherit the metaphorical throne. What do you choose to do?

Inspired by the weird promotional posters of the show. A quick study of the 3 original fellows of House.

I'm on season 4 right now, but the first 3 seasons were so good I can't get attached to anybody else except these 3.

Just horsing around with old videos, here's what my pump looks like in the mid 150s. That's my usual heart rate running an 8:15 mile. Thinking about my heart beating in me while I'm on the treadmill like this... dang.

Things I learned getting two MRIs, one a week directly after the other in case you haven't had one and are a little scared

For context the first one was for my head and the second was for my spine and pelvis

If you are nervous they will let you keep an emotional support plushie as long as it doesn't have any metal and can fit in your hand

Make sure you are not tensed up because you can't really untense once you start

You feel it but it doesn't hurt. It will vibrate you though and if it's on your head will feel like your head is being squeezed a little

Even with the earplugs and headphones it's loud as fuck

It gets warm. I didn't notice this with the head one but with the body it felt like having an electric blanket or a heat pack on my back. It actually made things a little easier because I use a heat pack for my lower back pain

The heat actually can be felt more in your tattoo. But it didn't hurt except for where two of my fingers were touching my other hand (not tattooed) and even that wasn't bad and I just changed my hand position slightly

The music doesn't really help with the sounds of being inside a washing machine but it does give you something to focus on

Wearing a face mask over your mouth is not advisable if you are claustrophobic. I did it the first time and just about managed and opted not to the second time

You get a panic button

It's disorienting getting out but not horribly so

If your sinuses are clogged they won't be for the duration you're in the machine as it will vibrate it all down the back of your throat

On that note go pee before hand and be prepared to need to pee after. Especially if they are scanning your pelvis. Heat and vibration make things want to exit

It's mostly boring and loud

The last 5 minutes are the worst because you just want to be done

It's really not that bad but if you have chronic pain it's laying very still for quite a length of time on a hard uncomfortable surface and probably in a position your body hates. So it's not pleasant but it's honestly not the worst exam I've had

I will say that I am quite fat and while they had to check that I would fit (I did) they were very nice about it and blamed the equipment and not me and were very kind. I am not saying that's a usual occurrence but I am grateful that's the experience I had

so i’ve been diagnosed with a serious heart condition

i went in for what i thought was gonna be something minor but i apparently have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy LOL

luckily we caught it considering people commonly die from it because it goes undiagnosed and untreated. most people live a perfectly normal life with this condition when they treat it well and go see specialists regularly, which i am bc theres a center dedicated to this condition like an hour away from where i live

i’m on medication for it and i’m feeling well right now but my life is now changed forever 🫡 there’s a lot of things i need to change about my lifestyle which shouldn’t be too hard. i’m trying to keep high spirits but i found out today and it’s all just been rly shocking. my family is a great support to me rn especially my dad who slept in the uncomfortable hospital chair and on the floor with me last night and would reassure me when i was feeling sad 😭😭

definitely get ur blood pressure checked, get an ecg, and get an echocardiogram if u can friends
