so I went for my CT scan today. I am given a sheet of paper prior to the scan.... this IV drug they give me... its a dye marker.... the sheet says the dye is administered about 1.6 million times per year in Canada.
44/million suffer minor il-effects
21/million suffer major il-effects
1.2/million deaths
so every year more than one person per year dies from that shit. I asked if I could have a copy of that paper and she says, "No, you sign it and give it back." Yeah but can I have a copy? "No. We don't do that."
So I go into the CT room and I open my own bottle of apple juice. The lady says, "Whats that for?" I said to mix that crap you're going to make me drink. "We supply you with our own juice." No, you supply me with something you say is juice but which actually has no resemblance what-so-ever to any known fruit or berry. I'll use my own. "Well no one has ever brougth their own juice before. I don't know if we can do that." Well, I don't drink just anyone's Kool-Aid, thank you." Finally she poured it in my bottle and I drank it.
So I lay down on the table and the nurse or technician or whatever she is puts an IV line in my arm. They take two scans and then she hooks the line up to a machine. She says, "Now this will make you feel warm and it will probably feel like you are peeing yourself, but you aren't." I said, "Yeah I've had it before." She says, "HHmmm." I said, "What?" She says, "Your arm isn't swelling up so I must have the needle in the right place." I said, "Are you kidding me? Were you here doing this same thing two freakin years ago? Is it possible that I lucked out and got you twice?" She ignored me and said, "Does it feel warm?" I said "Yes. It feels like I am pissing myself. Has anyone ever actualyl done that?" Done what? "Has anyone actually pissed himself on this table." She laughed and said, "No, why?" I said, "Well you don't instill a lot of confidence in me."
When we got done she had the audocity to say, "There, your arm didn't swell up, you didn't pee yourself. It's a good day."
