To the Medical Imaging Technicians of the world:
If you are requiring me to come to a diagnostic procedure with a full bladder, it’s only polite to do everything within your power to ensure that you are not running behind.
Twenty minutes may not seem long to you, but I assure you that after drinking two liters of water within an hour, it’s an eternity on this end.
Thank you for your consideration.

AMEN and AMEN.
ohhhhhh, I have SO been there. Hope yr knee is better!!!
Remind me to tell you the “I gotta pee!!” and “Kidney punch” stories some day.
Random intimate fact about me – one of my kidneys is evidently smaller than the other, and thus smaller than the standard amount of water they pump in before doing X-rays. Oh yeah – and then they tell you a) hold still and b) stop acting like a wimp.
And don’t you just love it when they say “well, then go just a little bit to ease the pressure.”
