"Sir, I have bad news."
"Give it to me straight, doctor. Do I have cancer?"
"No, it is much worse?"
"Worse? What is it?"
"The brain biopsy revealed that a family of birds are nesting in your cranium."
"Well, that explains why people call me 'bird brain.'"

I was reading an article about full-body MRIs saying they take roughly one hour.
:catthinking:
A brain, cervical spine and spinal column MRI never took less than 1.5 hours for me. They were not even scanning my entire body.
Some possibilities:
* Those full-body MRIs are done with machines that operate much faster than the machines I've been in. I'm not sure why these machines would not be in more common usage.
* The operators doing a full-body scan do a half-assed job because they know that 1 hour is pushing it. (There's a difference between accepting a 1.5 hour scan because your life literally depends on it (my case) versus doing a full-body scan after a pedicure and before horseback riding because reasons (the case of those celebrities that can afford full-body scans).)
* The article is pulling numbers out of thin air.
Maybe a #radiologist has a clue about the discrepancy I'm seeing here.
(Oh, also MRIs are quite capable of missing cancer. I had MRIs galore during my cancer. They saw something but could not identify it. I had a PET scan that missed my tumor. Then I had a brain biopsy that found my tumor, and another PET that confirmed what we already knew.)

Tomorrow, I'm going to be at Johns Hopkins for most of the day for some sort of psychiatric evaluation. It was ordered by my oncologist, so it is a cancer thing more than an #autism thing. The cancer, the brain biopsy, the chemo, and the stem cell transplant that I got can do a number on your brain.
Of course, I'm also going to surprise them with my self-diagnosed autism. I plan to go with my Chromebook in my backpack. (My laptop is just too cumbersome.) I have recorded in a document all the points that make me think that I'm #ActuallyAutistic.
If they want to fight me on this, I'm ready. Johns Hopkins saved my life. I'm grateful for this. However, it is also a business, and it is a business with blinders on sometimes.
