It's not StarGate. Dr. Daniel Jackson (aka eternally handsome James Spader) is not there.
CT Scan. My very first encounter. We had to do a CT Scan. What scared me most was the insertion of the heplock:

They had to coz it would be needed for the contrast (the dye) scan if it's necessary. Well, in my case, it was necessary. But it was quick. Hot. Quick. And the voice instructor was cool. hehehe.
But try telling a patient who had been desperately drinking loads and loads of water to dehydrate to lay still for minutes while they test run the dye! HAHAHAHA! It was hilarious!
My arms were held up, relaxed. My body must never never move, not an inch, or else, everything's gonna be ruined. Ok, tell that to an asthmatic. HAHAHAHA But hey, I survived!
The radio guy (Im guessing he was a doctor or a nurse tech, no offense meant really, I salute you), help my arm with the i.v. I got scared. I wanted to go pee-pee but couldn't.
Me:"What would happen to your machine if I pee on it?"
Him:"It would be best not to ma'm."
Me:"I need to go."
Him:"Just a little longer ma'm" (and he runs off)
I shout, "Please don't leave me!"
Him:"I'll get fried ma'm."
I had to hold back a giggle coz I was being scanned already. I really needed to pee already!!!
The next second, the nurse was back beside me. I really needed to go! In a flash he took off all the cords from the heplock, propped me up and helped me down.
But my slippers were nowhere to be found!!! I left them in my room on the 8th floor!!!
Joel knew that if I had to go, I had to go. The bathroom was just a few steps away. He took off his shoes, put them on my foot and ran with me to the bathroom with my i.v. and stand in tow.
ahhhhh.... hehehehe.
