As a 53 year old, I have had MRIs performed on me before today at KY Imaging. It has been my experience that the techs always insure that one is as safe and comfortable as humanly and professionally possible... And such was the case this morning upon my 1st attempt to have an MRI. As I was put in the tube; although never before claustrophobic, I quickly discovered such could develop late in life. At this discovery I was treated well upon my 'freak out', and was quickly removed from the machine in a panic. The tech, her name is Sarah, was absolutely very professional, and sympathetic even to the point of placating and showing me their Open MRI...and beseeching me as to whether I felt I could forego even it! She was lovely! Looking at it and being treated so well I thought for sure I could... But I couldn't. Couldn't hear just how much louder the OPEN MRI is, nor was I warned accurately JUST how much longer it would take! (Sarah had said it would be a little longer not 35 mins long!..Nor was she able to know how uncomfortable & neglected I was to be treated by the replacement tech later that day. I was in incompetent hands to say the least...I was sweating due to how hot I was, was not talked to while in the tube, and then lied to by the tech who 'claimes' she told me how long each noise assault would be. I went in to the machine expecting success, but now know I WILL NEVER COMPLETE MY 2ND MRI WITHOUT FULL SEDATION... Sedation....
Wish anyone would have told me upon my 1st claustrophobic freak out that I COULD BE SEDATED... And KY IMAGING, PLEASE look into how long I was in that machine because it was not a little longer and about 20something minutes as 1st warned by tech Sarah...and furthermore perhaps all sessions should be recorded so you will know I was told the 1st ten minutes and not talked to until I was told ok we got it...I still require my kneck MRIs...
VERY TRULY,
I RATHER DIE THAN again go through such neglect...
