>>127298571Yeah scary is subjective, its hard for me to TRULY imagine what our favourite SURvHOR protagonists go through, but I know what scares me.
earlier this week I had to get an MRI, I live in a shitty US state in the backcountry, where the nearest hospital that does MRIs is 3 hours away, so that hospital sends a truck to my podunk hosptial 2 times a week, now this MRI machine was probably built in 1980, not one of those roomy looking ones on popular medical dramas, it was stained and grungy from use and constant travel, the table you lay on screeched when it moved. Now I'm a big guy, with a lot of shoulder width, so its a really, really, tight fit
add to that, the MRI is facing longways towards the back of the truck, where the machine itself was blocking light at the back of the tube
so anyway here I am slowly getting pushed, arms trapped at my sides, screeching into a tube with the top of it TWO INCHES from my face, slowly getting darker, my hearing muffled (ear plugs)and then they tell me I might have to stay in there up to 45 minutes, I experience a panic so sharp and potent, I lose all coherent thought, tears are streaming down my face, I can't see because of it, and couldn't fix it anyway if I wanted to,
It was probably the scariest waking moment of my life, and it was from a fucking MRI machine
