So after waiting for about an hour I was told that I am not safe to MRI, let alone even be in the same room as the machine. Outside of the fact that it can tear the magnet stack out of my right hand from ten feet away, the unknown issue of magnetic particles dispersed throughout my body made them decide I am ineligible. I mean, I suppose that I'm more of an exploratory surgery guy than a scan it and be sure guy, so there's a certain ironic humor to it, but it kind of sucks as well. I guess I'll hear back from my doctor later today and find out if they send me in for a CT or PET scan instead…
EDIT: The only thing about this that really irritates me is that they knew all of this information weeks ago and if they'd read my forms back then, they could have scheduled me with alternate scanning technology instead. Now everything gets pushed back…
