"MRI Scan"

My second trip to Maidstone Hospital in a month and oh how I wish this was as good.

I was very nervous as I suffer from Claustrophobia and an MRI scan filed me with dread, even though I had taken a sedative.

I tried to explain to the lady at reception my concern but all she was interested in was me getting booked in.

When called, I again explained to the lady/nurse how nervous I was and was very disappointed in her seemingly lack of compassion towards me.

On entering the scan area I filled the form in but was not shown any concern by the nurse to my obvious discomfort.

If was not for the technician chap I would not have been able to go through with the scan. I explained to him my problem and his attitude was completely different, he encouraged me and made me feel at ease.

There must be a lot of people out there with same concerns as mine and are in need of some encouragement and help. If only the nurse who I see had made more of an effort the experience would have been less traumatic.
