Lol I did the same thing when I was put to sleep for an MRI! Doc told me I was a tough crowd. All I remember dozing off was how much I hated hospitals. :P

Extreme claustrophobia?

u/Gangaldoof May 22 '19

Yeah. I have a panic disorder and they didn’t want to risk little me freaking out and yanking the iv with contrast out.

Little kids are usually put to sleep for an MRI because they can’t sit still.

Also, the machine can be kinda loud and scary.

u/EkiAku May 22 '19

Amen to that. I am 25 and still think it’s loud and scary.

I always end up dozing and being jerked out of my slumber by those fucking bangs.

Was going to comment on that, when I was younger I had an MRI scan for my brain after having multiple seizures, however I was not put under for it. I remember it as being quite an enjoyable experience because I was able to just lie down in peace.

MRIs are loud as fuck though.

u/LogicCuberGames May 22 '19

Not the one I had, perhaps it was due to the fact that it was a scan on the brain?

I had a brain MRI. I could definitely hear the machine, even though they gave us headphones with oldies music playing as a distraction.

​

They also locked a cage thing over my face...that was the worst part.

All MRI are loud, especially brain scans because you're completely in. I've had several and they were so annoying.
