The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXVI

Yep, even staff have to answer daily questions about covid symptoms and get laser scanned. The EMR has to have those questions answered before the chart can be accessed and treatment begins. If you end up going back today for non-covid reasons, DO NOT GIVE A DIFFERENT ANSWER THAN YOU DID EARLIER! It locks up the emr and then someone like me has to go in and change the answers so they match.

I get the covid questions, I can answer those before they ask them at this point It's the entire medical history questions that drive me nuts. I was asked 6 times when I had my shoulder surgery today. It was done in that building, the date and time and everything else is in that computer

And why did I have to show up 30 min early to sit in the waiting room 45 min in the middle of a pandemic

Then about to be tossed in that god awful MRI machine they are asking about any metal I might have anywhere and I said "what about this wire in my mask?" and the 2 girls looked at each other confused so I got another round of covid questions and took the mask off

madwi

My man, you let that machine suck the mask right off your face next time! Pain and suffering and the stress it put on your heart...its hard to put a dollar sign on that but we can try!

I didn't want my ears ripped off I'm falling apart fast enough as it is

madwi

Think big! Bionic ears and a bunch of cash in the bank.

Having an MRI on your knees is no big deal. Having an MRI on your neck is no freaking fun. I am sure your head was in the machine also with your shoulder issue. That will make you uncomfortable since it is such a tight space. I jumped up yelling "FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST!!!!"

They tried to get me to have an MRI when I had the pinched nerve. I made it about 3 minutes before I broke and said I have to leave, have a nice day.

LOL, it is tight. If you are claustrophobic you ain't gonna make it. They were playing a radio to my station. That is the only way I made it. I was doing my best
not to fall asleep either where I would flinch. LOL

madwi

It was from the pain. If I rolled my eyes back a little I could see out the back of the machine so I had a sense of openess. The pain however of the pinched nerve was excruciating. I thought, man Id be a bad spy cause Id be spilling secrets already, comrade.

Spooler

I was dead in the middle of it with my head. That crap sucked.

I was past waist deep in that thing And trying to keep the entire body motionless is a pain, I have to breath
