I had to have a set of three MRIs after a work injury. After finally reaching someone to make my appointment and getting through the language barrier, I went for my 8 am appointment. Shanae at the desk was wonderful and very accommodating. I was taken back by a guy named David. His cologne was so overbearing, by the time I left, I had a migraine. But that was just the start of a very unpleasant appointment. They had me in a wheelchair and seated outside the MRI room. There was someone in the room before me so I had to wait a very short time. The door popped open, the previous patient was getting off the table and walked out the door. I sat there in the doorway waiting for them to tell me to come in. The MRI table and the entire room was in fieldview. The technician was a young blonde girl. She removed the thin sheets off of the top of the table and underneath was a folded up blanket. There was also a pillow at the top of the table. She didn't change out the pillow, and she was just placing a folded seat on top of the folded blanket that was already on the table. The sheet did not cover this blanket that was probably placed on the table for added padding. About an inch or so of the blanket with showing all the way around. And it was filthy. It was clear that this blanket had not been changed out in quite a while. It was literally filthy. So the blonde hair technician told me sit up on the table. I asked her if she was going to change out the blanket that the last person was laying on. She said that she already did. I told her that I was standing in the doorway and I saw that she did not change it and that She changed the sheet that was on top, but not the blanket. She insisted that she changed it but she hadn't. Eventually, she'd be gradually changed out the blanket. She did leave the pillow in place and did not change out the pillow either. I was not in the mood for another argument so I let it go. I claimed up on the table, and she told me the lay down. The guy, David, told me to remove my shoes. I did. But upon laying down on this table, I was in agony. There was no way that I would be able to lay there through three mris. I told him I probably could get through one or two but definitely not three. He told me that he thought it I should do the Open MRI which is seated instead of laying down the entire time. And I said that I thought maybe that might be easier. And then he said "But I don't think you'll fit". I said WHAT? He then, in a very snotty, condescending manner, said "Well there's a weight limit, so I don't think you'll fit" I was stunned. I think my mouth probably dropped to the ground. But I kept my cool and I said well, what's the weight limit, and he said that it was 300 lb. I told him that I'm nowhere near 300 lb. And that I will look into it. I was livid. I still cannot believe that he actually said that to me. Then, when he was taking me back to get my pocketbook out of locker, he said to me, "You won't lay on a used blanket but you'll put your filthy shoes in my MRI machine. " and I told him that I've never been in an MRI machine so I didn't know what to expect. And had I known that you're not supposed to wear your shoes, I would have taken them off. And I would think in a professional, medical setting, that sterilization is common practice. I must be mistaken. Now I was really pissed. I gathered my things and went out to the front desk, he came around the corner and said to me, I hope you don't think that I'm going to wheel you down to your car. I said, of course not. I think I can get myself to my car. He took me to the elevator and he did end up taking me down to my car anyway because I think he knew what a jerk he was my entire appointment. I was extremely pissed off and left with a migraine and it was not even 9:00 a.m. I ended up going to another Advanced Diagnostic location in West Palm off 45th Street for the two back MRIs and then to the Southern Boulevard Location for the hip MRI. I had no issues at either of those locations and the staff was wonderful. AND , I fit in the Open MRI machine just fine. I will never ever go to the Burns Road location again. read more
