I had never had an MRI before, and was a little nervous. The radiographer met me, talked me through what would happen and then wheeled me slowly round to the room. He made me feel very relaxed and I was able to remain calm through the whole process. I think going at a calm, unhurried pace was good, if he had made me feel rushed it would have been counterproductive and taken much longer in the end as 20 minutes inside a noisy machine could easily have set off a panic attack but it did not. After my scan I left the room smiling.
I wished I had said a bigger thank you in person at the time so
Thank you. Please tell your staff thank you.
