A day later the doc's office calls to say that my scan is set for Saturday.
Cool, so I go. "This is a private clinic, all charges have to be settled." This means I have to pay something. The MRI scans in Malaysia are $1200, so it ain't gonna be cheap.
I was early, for once, and they were late but I waited patiently. Then it was my turn and the piping was necessary. I hate IV piping. It didn't hurt...much ... but I still hate it. Pulling nasal or facial hair hurts more.
I had to change to the 'prison garb' and I forgot to wear underwear, hope nobody noticed. I also forgot to remove my ring! Lucky it didn't get suck into the MRI machine. It's magnetic after all.
I got earphones to listen to music. The noise from the MRI was so loud I could not hear anything anyway. Wonder what the speakers are made off, magnet safe?
After 30 minutes or so I was free.
$630+, I knew it would cost me. The gadolinium alone was $68. Lucky I didn't get the one HKL used that would have made me glow. I am penniless so on to the credit card it goes.
Your scans will be ready by Tuesday.
