    wrong! if you are a bigger person with clastraphobia do not try this. the tube touches you on all sides it's horrible.

      I tried it three times and as soon my head went inside and my shoulders touch the inner tube sides i had to squeeze the ball to get out. Don't know what to do cause I'm claustrophobic.

      @@FelipeRodriguez-hs3jzRequest either an open MRI or if one is not available in your area, request IV sedation (usually propofol).

    Open ?
    Had a brain MRI in there.
    Didn’t work at all. I still felt very claustrophobic.

    I tried three times in getting an MRI, but every time I had to squeeze the ball due to being claustrophobic even with medication don't now what to do and doctors can't help until i get it done. I feel I'm trapped inside.

    You mention in the video that upwards of 80% of MRIs for orthopedic scans can be done with head outside the machine. What type of body scans don't fall into that category? The machine you show in the video looks to be both open and short bore? What is the length of the tube? At what Shields location is this MRI machine?

    My mom and older brother Jay were upset when I went through a hysterectomy and a kidney stone surgery they didn't want me in the hospital in Brooklyn N.Y. Coney Island Hospital in Brooklyn N.Y. because they didn't want me going through the surgeries because they didn't care of My health they called every day to tell me get discouraged go home to your family I had a serious blood infection and I had to be taken care of myself by the Doctors in the hospital after My kidney stone surgery and I had to remain there and rest until they said you're all better because we took care of you it didn't matter what your family said to be discharged and go 🏡 home you just stay till you're better from every thing they are not incharge of you while you're here after your kidney stone surgery

    It's just that sometimes I'm nervous going through it and I know it has to be done in order for the doctor to get the medical clearance and results indicated what is wrong things to show what's wrong inside so you can go through a colonoscopy and endoscopy for your self some people don't go through with it like My mother didn't do it she's gone through a hysterectomy surgery on her intestines because she ate 🍫 chocolate licorice and got herself 😷 sick last year My older brother Jay was her health care proxy he makes the decision for her while in Lenox Hill Hospital in N.YC
