Baddog posted:You'd think that anything signed *while bad thing is actually happening* wouldn't be binding. There's an implicit threat there. yeah but you need a lawyer to argue this and most won't bother. the legal term is under duress. you can also argue you weren't not mentally capable at the time (meds, pain, etc) to consent.

nexous, you made me do some research... this isn't anything like injecting contrast into the wrong place, but when I went under last week the propofol burned like *hell*. Never had it feel like that before. I guess I'm old enough that I was just "ehhh whatever I don't think I'm dying they'll figure it out zzzzzzz", and then afterwards was just glad it was all over. But it looks like *normally* they put some lidocaine in to avoid the burn? I guess this anesthesiologist just rawdogged me! Maybe there is a lidocaine shortage, lol. Or with the opioid crisis, *anything* that takes the edge off is just verboten now? Pain is good for us, purifies the soul. Baddog has issued a correction as of 22:05 on Aug 29, 2023 |

Never had it feel like that before. I've had propofol and I don't recall any burning. And yeah, my reaction was much the same of "well theres not really anything I can do here and I really need this MRI so lets try again"

I have seen a few of these recently. Articles coming from a sort of "soft middle" questioning the wisdom of the current course of action (the article isn't worth reading, but the headline is):https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/aug/29/covid-cases-are-surging-we-need-more-from-government-than-keep-coughing-and-carry-on posted:Covid cases are surging.

nexous posted:So I got my MRI, had to take off my Vflex and they had no surgical so I raw dogged it. Then apparently they messed up my IV so they injected the contrast into not a vein and it burned like the dickens. I mashed the alert button but the MRI tech said that was normal and it took me 5 minutes to convince them it was not normal because I’ve had it before. They went and asked the radiologist and all of a sudden there’s several new unmasked people in the room telling me to sign some document and that this happens sometimes just ice it down when you get home. They re-IV the other arm and complete the MRI and glad to get out of the maskless hellhole. Obviously really sorry you went through that. Not sure if it's worth putting in the OP that there are some respirators that have absolutely no metal and are OK in an MRI, like these from moldex: https://www.moldex.com/product/2600-n95-series-respirator/ or https://www.moldex.com/product/4600-n95-airwave-pleated-easy-breathing-respirator/ Usually available from grainger. They're not very adjustable so if they don't fit your face, well, they don't fit your face. And of course ymmv because you never know what a MRI tech is going to say, but it definitely won't set off the little metal detectors, because there's none in there. I've personally gone through an MRI with a 2600 shown there. Also some (not all!) half-mask elastomerics have no metal. Though at least one model I tried has a screw.

Rescue Toaster posted:Obviously really sorry you went through that. As an actual MRI tech here, more often than not yall are not going to have a good time trying to keep your bane masks on in the tube. We don't trust anything for good reason and generally speaking unless there is actual testing by the manufacturer or otherwise information by the manufacturer about mri safety it's gonna be a no from most techs. Would recommend calling the place well in advance to speak to a technologist about keeping the mask on and if that'll be ok etc. Also I'd warn that if you're getting any imaging of the brain/head/possibly cervical/thoracic spine depending on the coil configuration it will be impossible to keep a respirator on regardless of metal as it will physically not fit. Also good form on the tech to just tell you it's normal for the contrast to burn because that's like the first immediate indication of extravasation (gadolinium contrast injection should never give a sustained burning sensation beyond maybe the initial seconds for other physiological reasons)

I got a giant head and my secureclick would have fit and I don’t think it has any metal but I’m not about to argue with my tech. I gladly took off my mask when it was just me and her because whatever, it’s just surprising when a bunch more people barged in. I just knew it was wrong because it hurt and I didn’t feel like I was peeing. arms getting red and itchy hope it doesn’t get any worse because lol.

grab a pack of readimasks if you need another, they have an MRI safe printout on their site and no metal whatsoever. the technologist was extremely chill about it for my partner's MRI

Few things have made me feel worse of the various medical hoops I've had to jump through as contrast for a CT scan. I don't know if it's the same thing as what you had but the burning sucks and then like my body had a weird fear response to it that just broke my brain for a few hours. I was fine after like four hours and a nap but that was a bad experience. I can't imagine how much worse it would have been if coupled with an MRI instead of a CT scan because at least with a CT scan you're not completely encased. Glad you seem to be okay through it. E: Funny how nostalgia works though because my brain has definitely overwritten what my actual MRI was to that time I chilled out in a sensory deprivation chamber while I listened to some dude's Beach House playlist.
