The Miracle of Modern Medicine 2

You know those medical procedures and tests everyone hates? Root canals,
teeth cleaning, MRIs? I think I actually like that stuff. I find them interesting
enough to block out whatever discomfort they're supposed to cause.

Last night I was thinking about that while I was inside the MRI chamber.
The technicians called me at home before the test to ask if I was
claustrophobic. Then at the actual test they gave me a panic button
to push if the tight space "freaked me out".

I don't know - compared to my daily life, the chamber was a good place
to unwind, even with all the clicking and buzzing.

Root canals....I'm fascinated by the feeling of the files inside the tooth.
Doesn't bother me at all.

The other day an ear specialist jammed a scope so far inside my ear
that I could have sworn it was touching the other side of my head.
Still, it was "interesting".

Shots, drawing blood.....no fear.

On the other hand, a lot of country music has been known to scare the hell
out of me. I think it's the hats.
