Speaker 1 (00:39):
We call it blogs.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Jason Brown, Yes, ready, I am go dear blogs. So
there are just some skills in life that I feel
like maybe I just don't know, or experiences I haven't
had that just lead me down to some really awkward situations,
And this is an example of it. So i heading
get an MRI for an issue that I'm having with
my knee. I have a torn meniscus. But before I
knew that I had to get an MRI. So I've

(01:02):
never had an MRI before. Not sure if that's super
common for people to do, but like I go there
and like the woman is not really giving instructions.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
She's just kind of like, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
She opened the door to the dressing room and like
literally like threw a gown on the thing, and I
was like, okay, do I have to put that on?
And she's like, no, you're in shorts, you don't have to.
I'm like okay, then, like why did you give me this?
Because I would have done if I wouldn't have asked,
I would just put it on. And here I am
bought out ready for my MRI.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Right, Yes, he took yours and your underwear off anyway, Yeah,
I was just waiting there.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
I'm just looking at your knee.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
But okay, rely absolutely like ready for my MRI. Right,
let's just be you wax top to bottom for this thing.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
I needed to get in the way of you've getting
a good picture, you know what I'm saying. So then
we like walk in, so she's like, oh, you have
to leave like everything in your pockets in the little locker.
I'm like, okay, cool, got that, Thank you for that instruction.
So they're walking into the room with the big old machine, right.
I'm like, okay, cool. And there's like the little table
thing that you like lay down on, Like Grey's anatomy

(02:02):
is probably like the best source of knowledge I have
for anything medical. So every time I see they go
in head first, right, like they're kind of like laying
on their back head first, right.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
So I'm like, ok maybe because they're looking at their head.
Maybe I don't know, but maybe your whole body's got
to go into this thing. I don't know, right. So
she's like, all right, just lay down. I'm like, okay, cool.
So I lay down, ready to.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Go head first, right, and she's like, no, you need
to turn around, like we're getting your knee.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
I'm like, oh, you need to tell me what to
do exactly, lady.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
I don't know how to MRI. Okay. I don't have
one of these at home. Okay, I don't have scrubs.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
I don't know how to work the machine, like, I
don't know how to do that right, like, and it
was scary, Like I'm not claustrophobic, but I would not
have fit if I was gonna go like they would
have had to like whatever. Like I got really close
and like I would have had to have like my
arms over my head in order to like fit through
this whole thing. Like terrifying because I had to go
like basically to like my I guess, like I don't know,

(03:01):
like my elbows.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Like in in this machine or whatever. But it was scary.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
And then like she comes out, She's like, I'm gonna
burn you a CD. I'm like, okay, Like what do
I do with this CD?

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Right?

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Like like whatever, Like what are you using back there
with like limelier?

Speaker 2 (03:25):
I know you're trying to come on to me, but
first of all, you're not my type, and second of all,
like I don't have much device for this.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
Right we just met, Like what are you putting on
this CD? So then I'm like do I give this
to my doctor? And she's like yeah. Then I call
my doctor and like we don't take CDs. We have
to wait for it to be So I was like, okay,
what is going on? Like why does no one give
clear instructions on how I need to do this?

Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yeah, they don't teach you in elementary school how to MRI.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Right, No, I don't know how to m RI. I
don't even think I still know how to MRI and
I just did it. I don't know, just like give
instructions on that type of stuff, because I know you
do it every day, But like I don't, like I
wouldn't have somebody come in here just expect to know
how to put us on the radio.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Well, we don't know how. We all have to teach ourselves.
Half the time. We can't get that right either.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Half the time, I put my head in the thing
and they're supposed to put your knee, I don't know, it's.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Whatever, right, I'm trying to go head first, Like girl.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Know the other thing about the imaging stuff, like whether
it's an ultrasound or an MRI or scan or whatever is.
And I know why, right, Like the nurses and the
people who do this all day are looking at these
images and they probably after enough time know what they see,
but they're not doctors, so they can't tell you what
they see. The doctor has to look at it, and

(04:33):
then the doctor has to do But like I had
an ultrasound once on my on my neck and like
you know, she's doing it whatever and then like really
kind of honing it in on one spot and I'm like,
what are you seeing there? Group She's like, ah, nothing,
it's nothing. I wouldn't be able to read this, you know,
even if I could, I wouldn't be able to tell you.

(04:54):
And then she leaves the room and then comes back
and goes right back to the same spot. I'm like, okay,
you found something.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
What do you say?

Speaker 2 (05:00):
And you went and asked the doctor and they said,
go do more of that. I'm like, where is the
man behind the curtain? Who's where is the Wizard of Oz? Right?

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Like, let this man tell me were woman what exactly?

Speaker 2 (05:11):
And it would turn out it was nothing they thought maybe,
but like they got real in there. But these people
know and they can't tell you. And I know why
when I'm like, hey, like brought you a gift card
to Starbucks?

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Like what are we?

Speaker 2 (05:24):
What are we? What are we working with here? Right
rank with your left eye? If I'm going to die?
Like just if you wouldn't mind, But because they know
when you're walking out, and then you got to wait
a week for someone to read it and then make
the appointment or whatever, and then the no and it's
just it's just anxiety so confusing, Like I don't know

(05:45):
clear instructions, I would follow them, just give them to me,
