Chief among her concerns was a debilitating back pain that just wouldn\u2019t go away. Deena had tried everything over the last few months and her doctors were stumped too. Finally, her doctors advised her to get an MRI to further diagnose the problem. Deena\u2019s heart sank \u2013 it was the one thing she had hoped she could avoid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"kc-elm kc-css-4266504 kc_row\">\n<div class=\"kc-row-container  kc-container\">\n<div class=\"kc-wrap-columns\">\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-858025 kc_col-sm-12 kc_column kc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"kc-col-container\">\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-171905 kc-title-wrap \">\n<h5 class=\"kc_title\">Revisiting the past<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"kc-elm kc-css-3178795 kc_row\">\n<div class=\"kc-row-container  kc-container\">\n<div class=\"kc-wrap-columns\">\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-4281192 kc_col-sm-12 kc_column kc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"kc-col-container\">\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-444522 kc_text_block\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #323232; font-family: AvenirLTStdBook;\">\u201cI don\u2019t deal well with closed, narrow spaces. During an MRI, you lie on a table, which then moves into a tunnel-shaped machine. I had had an MRI a few years ago when I was extremely sick. Even in my half-drugged state, the scan made me feel claustrophobic \u2013 I had an irrational desire to just get up and run. With this in mind, I was dreading the MRI scan, but\u2026I was in for a surprise.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"kc-elm kc-css-3367884 kc_row\">\n<div class=\"kc-row-container  kc-container\">\n<div class=\"kc-wrap-columns\">\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-554862 kc_col-sm-12 kc_column kc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"kc-col-container\">\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-2885306 kc-title-wrap \">\n<h5 class=\"kc_title\">Is sedation the only option?<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"kc-elm kc-css-460553 kc_row\">\n<div class=\"kc-row-container  kc-container\">\n<div class=\"kc-wrap-columns\">\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-1453449 kc_col-sm-12 kc_column kc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"kc-col-container\">\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-2297855 kc_text_block\">\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: #323232; font-family: AvenirLTStdBook;\">Deena booked an MRI scan at Star Imaging since she had had her previous scans there and had been happy with the service.

This scanner had apparently helped 90% of their patients overcome claustrophobia, without sedation. She asked me to try it out, assuring me that if I was still claustrophobic, I could always opt for sedation. Since my scan was going to take a couple of minutes, I was hesitant at first, but I decided to give it a try. I was then directed to the changing room and asked to change into a hospital gown and remove all metal items.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"kc-elm kc-css-3055326 kc_row\">\n<div class=\"kc-row-container  kc-container\">\n<div class=\"kc-wrap-columns\">\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-2036234 kc_col-sm-12 kc_column kc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"kc-col-container\">\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-4264169 kc-title-wrap \">\n<h5 class=\"kc_title\">Did I make the right choice?<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"kc-elm kc-css-259014 kc_row\">\n<div class=\"kc-row-container  kc-container\">\n<div class=\"kc-wrap-columns\">\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-2553033 kc_col-sm-12 kc_column kc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"kc-col-container\">\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-4215912 kc_text_block\">\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: #323232; font-family: AvenirLTStdBook;\">\u201cNext, I was escorted into the MRI room and asked to lie on the table, while the nurse gave me headphones. She then left the room (after kindly draping a blanket on me!) and the scan began. As the table started moving into the bore, my misapprehensions came back in a flood. I was just thinking that I should have probably chosen to get sedated\u2026when a movie (an Ajay Devgn flick) started playing. The experience was wonderful &#8211; it was like seeing the movie on a big screen on the ceiling. There was so much light that I forgot I was in a tunnel!\u00a0Throughout the scan, the technicians also spoke to me through the headphones, reassuring me and asking if I was ok.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"kc-elm kc-css-3993112 kc_row\">\n<div class=\"kc-row-container  kc-container\">\n<div class=\"kc-wrap-columns\">\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-2205576 kc_col-sm-12 kc_column kc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"kc-col-container\">\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-2188528 kc-title-wrap \">\n<h5 class=\"kc_title\">Not what I expected!<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"kc-elm kc-css-2275030 kc_row\">\n<div class=\"kc-row-container  kc-container\">\n<div class=\"kc-wrap-columns\">\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-3383086 kc_col-sm-12 kc_column kc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"kc-col-container\">\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-2921658 kc_text_block\">\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: #323232; font-family: AvenirLTStdBook;\">Once outside the scan room, Deena was free to leave immediately.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: #323232; font-family: AvenirLTStdBook;\">\u201cHonestly, it was so much better than expected\u2026 I didn\u2019t feel claustrophobic at all!
