My wife heard the MRI tech tell someone the machine had been "acting weird all morning" right before her scan.
Scheduled for a brain MRI, routine headache follow-up. She's changing into the gown when she hears the tech on the phone in the hallway.
"Yeah, it keeps shutting off mid-scan. I've restarted it three times... No, the engineer can't come until tomorrow... I know, but we're booked solid. I'm just gonna keep running it and hope it holds."
My wife opens the door. "Excuse me?"
Tech jumps. "I'll call you back." Hangs up, turns to my wife with a smile. "All ready?"
"Is the machine broken?"
"Oh, you heard that? No, just a minor glitch. Completely safe."
"You said it keeps shutting off mid-scan."
The tech tries to downplay it. "It's just a software thing. Doesn't affect the imaging quality."
My wife doesn't move. "If it's shutting off, how do you know you're getting complete images?"
"We restart the sequence. Patients don't feel anything...."
"How many times has it shut off today?"
Tech admits it's happened on four of the six scans that morning. Each time they had to start over, doubling the patient's time in the machine.
My wife gets dressed. "I'm not getting in a broken machine. Reschedule me when it's fixed."
Tech gets the supervisor. Supervisor confirms an engineer is coming tomorrow, tries to assure my wife the images are fine despite the glitches.
"Then why is the engineer coming? If it's fine, why fix it?"
No good answer.
My wife rescheduled at a different imaging center. Their machine worked fine. Got her results in two days.
Original facility called three times to apologize and offer a discount on the rescheduled scan.
She never went back.
"Minor glitch" stops being minor when it's your brain being scanned.
Sen. Warren is in BIG trouble. Even some Massachusetts Dems are demanding she resign after her use of the autopen under Biden was CONFIRMED by West Wing door logs. She allegedly entered the room 116 times & signed 112 documents, pardons & executive orders. She's cooked! #mapoli
🚨 BREAKING: In a stunning blow to the "experts," Japanese automaker Toyota has REFUSED to produce the Tacoma pickup truck in Mexico — instead opting for TEXAS, USA as part of a $3.6 billion investment
ANOTHER TRUMP WIN! 🇺🇸🇯🇵
Texas is set to gain 2,000 jobs from this investment alone 👏🏻
This is exactly what I voted for. And it will ONLY get better from here!
If the Covid Tyrants don’t go to prison for their Crimes Against Humanity…they will do it again. The ‘healthcare professionals’ that killed their patients will have no problem killing you the next time another pandemic is planned…
🚨 JUST IN: Former WH press secretary Karoline Leavitt just went WAR MODE against the doomers, saying we cannot STAY HOME in November and let America become a communist country
"Don't buy the doom and gloom, the manufactured demoralization operation that is taking place from the Democrat Party and their friends."
"They'll have you believing that Republicans are completely demoralized, but we have to be more amped up than EVER to fight back against these radical communists, against these extreme left liberals, who again, want to totally take our country backwards to the days of Joe Biden and even worse."
"DON'T BELIEVE THE LIES." 💯💯
Absolutely NOBODY — especially someone who voted for Trump in 2024 — should stay home in November
Handing Democrats (Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer) power is voting for not only mass OBSTRUCTION of MAGA, but paving the way for mass amnesty and millions of illegal voters
The next Dems in power will be a worse version of Biden on steroids. VOTE AND DON'T LET IT HAPPEN.
JUST IN: The Lone Lindsay Clancy Juror Michael Desronvil Just Broke His Silence Tonight in a Defiant Statement praising God and Defending the Children Murdered by Lindsay Clancy.
“I know the whole focus has been on me, but we want to reel everything back and put the focus on the three angels that's at hand. The ones that can't speak for themselves, the ones that can't defend themselves, and the one that can't fight the battles.”
“And those are Cora, Dawson, and Callan.”
“I want to thank God for my Catholic faith. I want to thank God for blessing me with the ability to love my daughter.”
“I would like to thank everyone, every individual that has supported me throughout this difficult situation. Your prayers, your emotional support, your psychological support is tremendous to my heart that I feel, that I sense, that I know. I do want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.”
Pray for Michael 🙏🏻
78 MILLION “Christians” didn’t vote in 2024….
If the CHURCH shows up to the polls WE WIN! It is that simple.
Radical Islam, Socialism, and foreign invaders can be stopped by CHRISTIANS!
The President of Columbia thought he was a big shot.
He thought he was untouchsble.
He told U.S. soldiers to disobey orders.
He told hem to use violence in America.
Marco Rubio heard.
So he REVOKED his visa.
Now Columbia’s President isn't allowed to set foot in America.
Works for me.
