I'm heading back to hospital for another appointment. Leaving the heated blanket on for my domestic cat comfort nurse/emotional therapy kitty.

cthulku,

@msquebanh Classic! They let you have music for your scan? Through a speaker, or were they not scanning your head, so you could have earbuds in?

I work in nuclear medicine, and I'm amazed that more people don't bring in music/podcasts to listen to. Our scans can easily run over an hour, depending on what we're looking at and if the docs need additional views or what not. Anything to help a person relax!

@cthulku @msquebanh For one of the MRI scans of my prostate, I made a iTunes playlist of songs c.3 minutes in length, ordered alphabetically by artists. This made it easy to know how much time had passed.

@vandyke4ad @cthulku That's a good idea. Music makes the experience better.

@cthulku It was via speakers this time as it was a head scan. My previous CTs were lower body & arms areas & they let me use earbuds for those.

My post CT scan tune 😅

I'm now heading over to second xray area; one done, one more to go.
I gave a nurse one of my N95 masks to wear instead of the mask she had on. Just told her, - That blue mask isn't safe enough & it's making me anxious. I'm uncomfortable with masks that aren't minimum of N95 level. Please wear this N95 mask instead & we can talk more, after you put it on.

veirling,

@msquebanh I hope she took it well. Medical staff in the states are unpredictable about this stuff. 😒

@veirling She thanked me for the mask & put it on in bathroom beside 2nd waiting room. I would've asked for a different nurse & filed a report on her, if there was any issues about protecting my own health & overall public health.

veirling,

@msquebanh Yes, me too. Both I and my partner are immunocompromised. Put me in a position to fight and I will. I have to.
