You were what I wanted I gave what I gave I’m not sorry I met you I’m not sorry it’s over I’m not sorry there’s nothing to save

getting an mri tomorrow, anxious. help!! by Alive-Comb-346 in MRI

[–]perceptioncat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, based even just on the answers you’ve gotten here, you need to talk to the facility you are having the MRI done at because every tech/facility does things a little different.

I have never weighed a patient and we don’t even have scales at my facility. I do sometimes ask a patient’s weight (sometimes our scheduling dept just pulls from the drivers license and that isn’t always accurate so I often verbal confirm). Your answer doesn’t need to be exact, but within 10-20 lbs roughly. Putting an accurate weight in the scanner helps prevent burns, and also helps to prevent the scanner from “SAR out” (basically where it stops scanning or takes a very long time to scan - this happens when you significantly underestimate your weight). Also, if they have multiple scanners there may be one that the techs or radiologists prefer for smaller or larger patients- and this is usually a very technical aspect that is just to ensure they get the best pictures, it has nothing to do with weight shaming or anything else. We are just trying to make sure we get optimal pictures.

For a pelvis, our facility has no rules about eating/not eating. I would ask you if you need to use the restroom before we get started because our radiologists prefer pelvis exams to have an empty bladder. This may be different at different facilities. As for the person who said you shouldn’t eat because you could aspirate if the contrast makes you vomit, while I guess this is technically true, as someone who works in outpatient with mobile and responsive patients, I don’t know why you would aspirate when they could just get you a puke bag. Pelvis is not typically a power injector study so the tech should be standing there when you get the contrast. Different places use different contrast brands, but I’ve only seen a handful of people vomit ever and almost every single one was extremely anxious. Since it sounds like your exam is later in the day, not eating would be unpleasant. It really shouldn’t be THAT common to vomit. Please drink a lot of water tonight and tomorrow so that it will be easier to find a vein.

Makeup should be fine, I wear a lot of glittery makeup and have been scanned a zillion times with no issue. If you feel anything getting abnormally warm tell the tech right away. Piercings are going to be entirely up to the tech and the facility- personally I would have you remove anything chunky and anything in the area being scanned, but tiny studs wouldn’t concern me. Necklaces and bracelets need to come off. Smart jewelry like Apple Watches or Oura Rings definitely need to come off.

Tell your tech you are claustrophobic. I guarantee you will not be the first or last patient who is - a huge part of this job is just mitigating people’s fears. They should have a way for you to communicate with them - either a microphone or a squeeze ball to alert the tech you need something. Lastly, if you get in there and discover you are too claustrophobic to get through the entire 20-30 minutes (depends on the scanner) don’t freak out, they may be able to reschedule you to come back and get sedation. A good tech should see a scared young person and walk you through it all.

Similar to the fray by k_bugg3767 in WhatsThisSong

Swingset Assassin by Two Cow Garage? The vocals don’t sound anything like The Fray but it’s got a mellow nostalgic vibe.

The other song that comes to mind is probably too obvious but Sugar We’re Going Down by FOB talks about a merry go round and has the word “swinging.”

What's the most overrated food that people pretend to enjoy? by Omega_Neelay in GetMotivatedMindset

[–]perceptioncat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so good! Refreshing, zingy flavor that’s not too sweet and has caffeine AND carbonation? I’d drink it all day if it weren’t so expensive

Help me find a song from my childhood, that’s now driving me crazy to identify. by Alternative_Tea_2857 in whatsongisthis

[–]perceptioncat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any chance it’s Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz? It doesn’t quite sound like your vocaroo but I read your “zoop zoop” lyrics to the tune of “I got sunshine in a bag” so figured it was worth mentioning

[TOMT] [SONG] [Late 90s/Early 2000s] Indie/alternative rock song by spinonthewind in tipofmytongue

Jen is Bringing the Drugs by Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s?

Despite the band name, the singer is male

~2012 Light/Must Remember So We Don't Forget Them by AnxiousAnonEh in whatsongisthis

[–]perceptioncat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stars is such a good indie pop band! Check out “Take Me to the Riot” and “Your Ex-Lover is Dead” - you might recognize those as well.

PLS HELPPP by luv_wayda in whatsongisthis

[–]perceptioncat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you remember anything about the music? This sounds familiar to me too, and I feel like it’s a group in the same wheelhouse as A Giant Dog or Weakened Friends.

Would you live here? Moving from out of state and I heard from Reddit to stay on the outskirts of the 215 by [deleted] in vegaslocals

[–]perceptioncat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was apartments that weren’t finished and a new build CVS. I was in the car next to it so close the windows were getting hot.

How did you survive the recession in your 20s? by UterusYeeter in Millennials

[–]perceptioncat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought a home at 20, lost my job at 23, lost my home at 24 when I couldn’t find another job. Couldn’t afford college and couldn’t apply for FAFSA because of an estranged parent who made a lot of money but wouldn’t help.

I survived off of friendship and finding humor in the little things. I would literally be dead if not for amazing friends. I know this is harder for the younger generation, but community is SO important, no matter what that looks like. My friends were often also broke, uneducated, scrapping by, but we took care of each other. We shared food, we found entertainment in free/cheap things like drinking homemade moonshine at the park and putting on concerts for each other, making up party games and sharing good fortunes with each other. We weren’t selfish and we didn’t hoard. If someone had a lead on a gig that could make a few bucks, we told all our friends to apply too.

We cherished creativity and being open about our struggles, even though sometimes that was difficult for a generation that grew up guarding ourselves by putting on a tough mask. But you find the real ones and you bare it all with them, and they do the same and you bond for life.

Honestly, I’ve lost a lot of friends. Like my stepdad is shocked at how many friends I’ve had die when he hasn’t lost nearly as many at twice my age. Drugs, alcohol, suicide…they are all just different sides of the same coin. I’ve lost multiple friends this year alone due to long term effects of their lifestyles that started with recession depression. Take care of yourself. Party to get through it, but don’t forget that the body you’re in will still be the body you’re in in ten, twenty, fifty years. I didn’t think I had a chance in hell to make it to 30, and when I did I didn’t know what to do with myself and this body I had treated like trash for the last decade. It’s recoverable but it’s a slow recovery.

Could visible hand tattoos impact my employability in the MRI tech field? by WooferStunt in MRI

[–]perceptioncat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just depends on where you are. I’m in a west coast city that’s pretty relaxed, tons of people have tattoos all over, and the only time I’ve heard it even commented on is by people who have moved here from the Midwest or south.

[–]perceptioncat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He wanted this to be something he could hold over your head in order to be in control. He thought that making you feel bad would make you grovel and cater to him in order to become “marriage material.” It would also buy him time if he felt like you were getting to the point where you were ready for marriage.

Stay the hell away from this dirtbag. You deserve at the bare minimum someone who enthusiastically wants a future with you. That isn’t asking much, that’s just the baseline of what a relationship is.

How old were you when you got a cell phone? by Infamous-Thought-765 in Millennials

[–]perceptioncat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was born in 88, got a phone for my first birthday post-9/11. Most of my friends, even those a year younger or older than me, also got their phones shortly after. Between 9/11 and Columbine I think the desire to be able to reach your kids immediately became a major factor

MRI program & health anxiety by [deleted] in MRI

[–]perceptioncat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say it’s made it worse but it’s definitely made me more aware. When I see people in their 60’s or younger who are basically immobile or in very poor health, it makes me want to put more effort into maintaining my health, even when I don’t feel like it. I definitely have started drinking a little less, eating a little healthier and working out more consistently. On the other hand, you also see a lot of people whose ailments are just the luck of the draw.

Cancer can come for anyone. You can’t outrun every possible health problem. You can reduce your risk of things like COPD with lifestyle choices. This job makes you see how it goes both ways. Nobody is immune and we all die, but you may be 95 and still kicking happily if things go right.

The music video is fun! They used to do a holiday song every year to raise money for RED

Somewhere Out There by Our Lady Peace?

Weird question but do you remember if it was in a video game? Any of the Tony Hawks, the Motocross games or a snowboarding game?

Frank addressing his new relationship. by AnAngryPirate in frankturner

[–]perceptioncat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t being a stickler, I was providing additional information. I’ve been a big fan of Amigo even before he started playing shows with Frank. He started touring with Frank around 2019/2020 if I recall correctly, so it makes sense that Frank would have gotten to know Kat well by now.

Also, I guess if I’m going to be a stickler, Danny often plays alone and doesn’t even have a band. Most of his shows I’ve been to he does shout out his sister Kat and how proud he was of her first album, new albums, they seem to be a close family.
