07.10.20 | "x-ray sint’s chin"
i tried to yield some clever google image results by googling "x-ray of nothing" but it didn't work out |

07.10.20 | Yeah I wanna get into MRI, I was pretty good at the physics side of x-ray but I know it's completely different. I wanna be a tech for like 4 years first though maybe |

07.10.20 | The strangest x-ray would probably be a soft tissue penis xray, but I've only heard its a real thing from actual techs but still not sure if I believe it lol |

07.10.20 | Pay Sput forward. Patients might freak when you tell them to “Check Grotesque,” but misunderstandings shouldn’t make you forget your roots |

07.10.20 | @Trundle, here's my experience with barium xray test:
First they will inject something that makes your muscles relax and blurries your vision. Then you'll swallow a gas inducing powder that literally expands your stomach. At this point you can't fart or burp. If you do, you will have to get another dose, and believe me, you want to avoid a second dose. Then, while holding those farts in like trying to contain a nuclear explosion inside a shoebox, you will get the barium. The barium can only be described as a pain milkshake. It looks like paint, it tastes like (what i believe it does) paint. You will drink half of it. Then you will hop on a stretch while holding your glass with the remaining fluid like you are in some kind of sinister party where you are the main attraction. The stretch now will rotate and you will be told to rotate yourself too, so the barium expands around your body and make you glow like a fucking firefly. Try not to burp or fart, or that second dose or even a third will come for you. Once you are done, around 10 minutes, you'll be set free, and you will be invited to let out the apocaliptic gas storm that you've been brewing. Then you will be given a couple of pills that will induce ina state of dhiarrea for the rest of the day, because who needs half an ounce of radioactive material in the system, amiright? At that point, you better have not come to the hospital by bike, cause you just simply won't make it home without leaving a trail of shit on your way there.
And that's about it. Nevertheless, remember to have fun and enjoy the medical advancements of the XXI century. |

idk, if i got through an endoscopy with no anaesthesia, hopefully i can make it through this,
too bad that i'm going through withdrawal and can get the shits on the reg |
AffableMartyr
07.10.20 | People typically get through barium swallows with no issues and they only last 10 mins. Sometimes they give you flavored barium and heard it's not terrible. And it's not radioactive btw. You'll be done in 10 mins |

07.10.20 | your description vs dewinged's is such a classic "what the doctor said" vs "how it really went down" moment |
AffableMartyr
07.10.20 | Ha! It's really not that bad 😂 trust me. |
DominionMM1
07.10.20 | if it’s a run of the mill barium swallow study it probably won’t be a big deal. barium isn’t radioactive and it kind of tastes like pepto bismol. i also highly doubt theyll give you any kind of muscle relaxant for fear of aspiration.
make sure you drink a lot of water and have access to a mirror right after the procedure |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
07.10.20 | so you can watch yourself shit down your own legs? |
DominionMM1
07.10.20 | lol no. a mirror is necessary because after you drink barium it kind of just appears on your lips and makes it look like you’ve been sucking on a crack pipe for an extended period of time. think the tyrone biggums character from chappelles show. |

07.10.20 | oy congrats man

07.10.20 | I was obviously being hyperbolic, but accurate. It doesn't hurt at all and the only downside is the 20 times you need to take a shit during the day. My experience is from a hospital in Japan, where I take my yearly health check so it might be different, specially because here they are far behind in these matters. I mean, we are still using faxes for official documents. |
