MRI MACHINE

Description of Event or Problem

I WAS IN THE MRI MACHINE AT (B)(6). RIGHT HIP MRI. AS SOON AS THE TEST BEGAN, I FELT HOT HEAT GOING IN AND OUT OF MY VAGINA. I PRESSED THE BUTTON. THE TECHNICIAN SAID IT WAS NORMAL. THEN I PUSHED THE BUTTON AGAIN SAYING I FELT I WAS ON FIRE. THEY TOLD ME A FEW MORE MINUTES WE ARE ALMOST DONE. I WENT TO SIT UP AFTER AND I COULDN'T; THE PAIN IN MY VAGINA; I COULDN'T SIT ON IT. I CRIED OUT. THE TECH SAID PLEASE DON'T TELL ANYONE I DID THIS TO YOU. I BARELY WAS ABLE TO GET OFF TABLE WITHOUT EXCRUCIATING PAIN. WHEN I LEFT, THE MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL KEPT TELLING ME IT WAS NORMAL. I COULDN'T TAKE THE PAIN AFTER A DAY OR SO I TOOK A PIC OF MY VAGINA AND WAS SCARED. I DID HAVE MY GYNECOLOGY DOCTOR IN (B)(6) SO I CALLED EVERY PRACTICE UNTIL SOMEONE SAW ME. I WENT, SHOWED THEM PICTURES AND THEN THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T EXAMINE ME BECAUSE MY LEGS WERE TREMBLING AND I WAS IN PAIN. THE DOCTOR REFUSED TO DO PELVIC THAT TIME. I EVENTUALLY WENT BACK TO (B)(6); ASKED TO SPEAK TO ADMINISTRATION AND SHOWED HER THE PICTURES. HER FACE WENT WHITE AS A GHOST AND THE TECHNICIAN WAS THERE. THE ADMINISTRATOR SAID SHE WOULD DO AN INVESTIGATION ON THE MACHINE AND GET BACK TO ME. SHE GAVE ME HER EMAIL. I WROTE HER BUT SHE NEVER WROTE ME BACK. IT TOOK A BIT OF TIME TO FIND THE RIGHT SPECIALIST. I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MULTIPLE INJURIES INCLUDING PERMANENT NERVE DAMAGE. I HAD DONE SOME RESEARCH AFTER AND FOUND MRI RECALLS WERE HAPPENING DURING THAT TIME DUE TO OVERHEATING.
