Gato 0 #1 April 4, 2008 So I had 2 chest x-rays in the last 2 weeks because the radiologist is seeing something anomalous in my left lung. Subsequently, my doctor tells me to get a CAT scan of my chest, just so they can be sure it's nothing life-threatening. Note: I had a pretty severe rib/sternum injury from landing weird on a trampoline many years ago, and we're hoping that's what is behind whatever the radiologist saw. At 9:15 this morning, I go in for my scan, and they prep me for an IV of contrast solution (iodine compound, I was told), and then the nurse takes me into the room with the big white donut. They have me get on the table, and take a couple of pictures without the contrast solution, then she swings the IV machine over to me. Now, the funny part: The nurse says, "OK, I'm starting the contrast now, you're going to feel a kind-of warm flush, and maybe a metallic taste in your mouth. It'll go away in about a minute or two." Sure enough, I feel the flush starting to warm me up all over, THEN EVERY BIT OF HEAT IN MY BODY SEEMED TO TRAVEL AND ZERO-IN ON MY ASSHOLE!!! Of course, this happens exactly at the same moment they ask me to hold my breath. I didn't get the metallic taste, and the warmth went away just after the IV stopped. Amazing - I didn't know butthole pleasures were a part of CAT testing protocols. Just a side note - I'm asking for good vibes from you folks; let's hope the results aren't detrimental to my survival.T.I.N.S. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 3,120 #6 April 4, 2008 >THEN EVERY BIT OF HEAT IN MY BODY SEEMED TO TRAVEL AND ZERO-IN ON MY ASSHOLE!!! I got contrast for a CT once, and it gave me the exact same sensation as wetting my pants. It made me laugh. They stopped the scan and came in to see what was wrong with the EKG. "Sorry, I was laughing" they said. The tech gave me a dirty look and told me to cut it out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shepp 0 #8 April 4, 2008 Quote I got contrast for a CT once, and it gave me the exact same sensation as wetting my pants. Same here! The tech told me, "This is going to make you feel like you're skin is on fire and you're peeing your pants at the same time." She was totally right. Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterward. Accidents don't just happen. They must be carelessly planned.

Gato 0 #11 April 4, 2008 Quote Cat scan. I feel honored that you actually took the time to do that. Most impressive! T.I.N.S. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #12 April 4, 2008 First Gato, major prayers and vibes that you get a good bill of health. Let us know how it goes. On the other topic, I can't count how many CT Scans with contrast that I have had. I've been in that tube so many times, I figured it would be cheaper to buy one for home use. Anyway, I have never experienced the butt hole or peeing sensation. I FEEL ROBBED! _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SansSuit 1 #14 April 5, 2008 I had a Contrast CT scan a couple years ago. They were looking at something that turned out to be cysts. The report comes back and says that what they were looking at wasn't a problem. But in the report the doctor said, "There is a compression fracture of the L4 vertebral body .... It may be related to a remote trauma." WTF ?? I never broke my back! Thinking back, the only time I could remember even hurting my back was landing with some broken lines, over 7 years before. My log book just says "landed a little hard." I even made another jump that day. Had a broken back all that time and didn't know it. Of course, I had them make me a copy of the x-ray that showed it.

kbordson 8 #19 April 5, 2008 I had a sprial ct a few years back looking for a pulmonary embolus (luckily it wasn't there - just endocarditis) But when I got the IV contrast... the warmth wasn't in my rectal area, but it DEFINITELY got my attentinon!
