xray n o m "are you pregnant, or is there any chance you could be pregnant" "hold your breath", "don't move", "keep still" "hold your chin up" "chin up" "now the other side" 101012 ... n o m did i ever tell you, blather about this xray technician? he watched me take off my bra and then he stroked my hair it was super creepy and made me so uncomfortable i was in a lot of pain 141103 ... epitome of incomprehensibility Ick. That's horrible. I remember when I had an X-ray. I got changed in a little booth, but it feels pretty vulnerable to walk around in just underpants and a robe, not to mention having to leave things like glasses and watches and phones behind.

It's never the time. (e_o_i's context: age 13, hypochondria phase; I'd been coughing for about three months and was convinced I was dying of something. It's a good thing I got the X-ray done, though, since it showed I had a stubborn sinus infection that was subsequently cleared out by antibiotics.) 141105 ... flowerock We should be able to trust care providers with our bodies.
