Today I had an MRI scan because of a pinched sciatic nerve.  It was one of the most agonizing experiences of my entire life and one of the greatest test of my will and my control of my physical self.  How I was forced to lay brought me to the point of sever pain within moments of being placed therein.  Over the 25 minute course of the mind numbing sonic assault of the MRI machine, which relies of the patient laying completely still, I had to call upon all of my resolve and self control.  I tried to convince myself that it was a life or death situation and that the only way I would ever see anyone again was to remain completely motionless and endure some of the most agonizing pain I have ever experienced with no distraction other that what I could conjure in my mind, whilst magnetism electrified my face and neck and the sounds of a robot in the throws of death berated my ears.  When I was finally allowed out of this electronic torture chamber the news that greeted me was far from encouraging.  This experience was completely fucked.  Please do not repeat.
