CT scan

after a particularly shitty start to da day..
{read the previous post i wrote at 4 am. :O}

i landed up at Apollo to get a ct scan done.
Apollo is this huge thing for a hospital n has endless rooms n endless corridors n endless pathways leading to endless chambers having endless doctors.
so the doc did some sort of diagnostic test first n den told me to go to the NEXT building to get the scan done.
so da next building was like in the next city!
i walked almost a kilometer!
i love walking but in da Delhi sun!!!
no damn way!!

after an hr of panting and sweating..i finally reached the damn place.
now something good happened.. n something bad.

the bad part.
this wat i went thru. :(
a brief intro to CT scan:

Computed tomography (CT),is a medical imaging method employing tomography where digital geometry processing is used to generate a three-dimensional image of the internals of an object from a large series of two-dimensional X-ray images taken around a single axis of rotation. CT produces a volume of data which can be manipulated, through a process known as windowing, in order to demonstrate various structures based on their ability to block the X-ray beam.


they put u like in a tunnel where the flap literally touches Ur nose.
u feel so suffocated. it also makes u feel like u are srslee sick.
the whole atmosphere combined with complexity of the machines scares the living hell outta u.
u are impatiently waiting for it to end so that u can just run away into wilderness.

er...maybe i should cut down on some literature..

the good part.
i am perfectly fine.
although i dint get my scan image..this is wat it will look like.



[Normal CT scan of the head; this slice shows the cerebellum, a small portion of each temporal lobe, the orbits, and the ethmoid sinuses.]


im in a happy state right now.
reasons:
1. because my scan is fine.
2 .because i have 4 tests to do right now n im gonna bust them .
tomorrow i will have a smiling face when i come back from class. i will have all my answers correct. :)
