[2-6-08] Muga Scan

[7:20am]
     Here I am at the hospital for the "Muga Scan." It's in the department of "Nuclear Medicine." That sounds so cool.
     My guess is that they inject me with some sort of radioactive dye, which gives the scanning machines a real-time view of my heart in action.

[8:50am]
     Sheesh! Long wait! When I approached the office, the lights were off. Odd, my appointment was scheduled for 8:00am. ... ... Eventually I got in.
     Yep, it's a "radio-isotope." The technician made sure to point this out, and reminded me to drink a lot of water so that my "gonads remain intact." Apparently, these diagnostic machines like to foster a very intimate relationship with my 'nads.
