CT SCAN - Should I Be Worried?

I have to go get a CT Scan this Thursday. Last Friday I saw my Doc about my Bell's Palsy (which has receded) and he thought it would be a good idea. Maybe they will let me see my own brain. I want to see the pellets still embedded in my skull from the time I was shot in the face. Fun times. Oh and the wait time on that free service - 6 days. Damn, I could have died waiting that long. That is what we call sarcasm here in the Socialist Utopia I live in.


I will hate having to getting into the Mummy wraps but if those are their rules then I will abide by them. I wonder if I can even BE scanned. Won't the magnet pull the metal pellets out of my skin like Magneto did to the Wolverine when he pulled the Adamantium from Wolvie's body?

 
That would take care of my pellet problem but not in the best most hygienic way. Once again, THE MAN is trying to take my superpowers from me and I walk willingly into the trap.

Sounds like it promises to be a fun time!

What do you know that I don't??
Is there a 'probe' involved?

I had cancer in 1997. I had 2 ct scans. They make you drink that horrible tasting liquid first...

Hahahahaha good one, Cal. Seriously, though, don't worry. CT scans are a walk in the park.

Nothing to sweat. I had a CT scan of my head to check for neurological issues about 5 yrs back. No adverse effects at all.

But to be fair I am a genius. I don't like anything magnetic near my head.

You have Bells Palsy and you have been shot in the face? How have I never heard these stories?

I had two MRI's in the last two weeks...one for my torn rotator cuff and one for my bulging herniated discs. Don't be intimidated by the machine. I went in and meditated... I thought about toys,cartoons,comic books and cleared my mind of any hesitance or fear. This scan is to help you. Relax...go in there and think happy thoughts. In no time flat you'll be out of there

The thing about taking away super powers is almost always just a cliff hanger to some triumphant badassary.

I hope so Jed. I could use a new hobby to work on and developing my owns badassary is a daily struggle.
