The technologist ""Dan"" who did my scan was the extremely RUDE! I was supposed to get medication because I am very, very CLAUSTROPHOBIC! He said he did not have anything that said I needed sedation. I told him that I had spoken to a representative over the telephone and told her I NEEDED to be medicated. She said to bring a driver SO I DID. He kept saying it was just a knee. That’s is NOT THE POINT! I cannot tolerate being immobilized like that, especially with the weights he piled on my leg. I told him I had recurring nightmares of being stuck or lodged in a small place. I told him I was ANXIOUS AND HAD STOMACH CRAMPS. He made me feel like an idiot or a coward and had no sympathy what so ever! I said that I did not need to have brought my mother to drive me then, since he refused to medicate me. If that scan had not ended when it did, I would have not been able to take anymore. He did not say ONE WORD TO ME WHEN THE SCAN WAS OVER. HE JUST STARED AT ME! I thanked him and went to the locked forgetting the key. He was just standing there dangling the key glaring at me. HE, DAN, HAS NO BUSINESS IN WORK IN THE HEALTH CARE PROFESSION. I never mentioned it to him, but I am a retired Registered Nurse, and was APPALLED at his LACK OF COMPASSION! I threw up when I got to the car! I WILL NEVER, EVER GO THERE AGAIN! MOREOVER, I WILL BE PASSING THIS INFORMATION TO EVERYONE I KNOW IN SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY.
