M.R.I Hell

<p>It is with regret that I inform you of the disturbing experience I suffered at the Hillcrest Hospital branch of Jackpersad on Friday. Dr Colin Wolpe my neurologist referred me for the M.R.I scan see attachment.</p> <p>I arrived and waited in the rooms and was shown to the procedure area and told to that the cost would be R2000 for my account and that my medical aid would cover the R11000. <br />I had no problem with that.</p> <p>Plugs were placed into my ears and I got into the machine. The lady advised me to keep stock still for the 20 minutes it would take. I struggled to place myself into the correct position and the lady said that if I couldn't "Get this part right" the scan would be cancelled and rescheduled. I was concerned that my medical aid would not cover a second attempt so I obeyed instruction. The head gear was put into place and the scan began.</p> <p>To my horror the earplug had become dislodged and I was struck with the most disturbing racket for the next 20 minutes which was unbearable, yet I kept still and endured.</p> <p>The lady stuck up a conversation with her colleague and I was left to suffer in silence.</p> <p>Upon leaving I was so shattered, my back aching, and my wife collected me in tears. I've taken pain****ers and am still recovering from this ordeal.</p>
