Hospital tests

[dreamer]

I had a test this morning with an injection of radioactive dye, been several hours now, still no superpowers.

I don't mind the dye, its the treadmill that gets me.

 

[arfmel]

They ain't getting me on that treadmill ever again. Rather die in my sleep.

Almost as bad as breathing with a vacuum cleaner hose stuck in your mouth.

My cardiologist stopped my test about two minutes in. Not a good sign. No dye or die for me.

My Mom actually had a heart attack on the treadmill. A couple years later they wanted her to take another test. She wasn't very polite.....

In reality, that's the point of the stress test. Best place to have a heart attack is on the treadmill in the presence of a cardiologist at a hospital. If she had an MI on the treadmill, she was going to have one at some point in her life. Better her to have it there, or show significant signs of heart issues than when she is alone in bed at night sleeping.

Radioactive material...one of the funniest things on Amazon is a review of uranium ore:

The customer reviews are hilarious!

"I purchased this product 4.47 Billion Years ago and when I opened it today, it was half empty."

"I got a free cat in the box with this purchase but I'm not sure if I should open it to see if the cat is ok."

"I left this product next to my pet lizard, unfortunately now he's 350ft tall now and is currently destroying Tokyo, Japan."

Those three are my favorites!

Agreed, but it was sure funny to hear her whenever they mentioned getting another one.

My brother in law was about 48 years old and a lab tech at a heart hospital. He dropped dead at work in the lab and all those "specialists" right there couldn't bring him back. I just had the stress test about two weeks ago where I didn't have to do the treadmill either.

Since I had a pre-existing left bundle branch block (idiopathic), I was subjected to the chemical stress test. Afterwards, I told the doc that we didn't need waterboarding, just use that chemical. It was horrible. A few years later, I had another test, not nearly as bad. Progress.

That chemical test two weeks ago didn't bother me a bit. I did feel just a little different for just a couple minuets.
