This kind of thing can happen at any hospital. I am not blaming the hospital necessarily, but I can just imagine a couple of MRI techs sitting there, maybe talking about what they did over the weekend, Oh I went to Hooter’s and the Hoots were great( males) or I met this guy who is soooo hot. We danced, and he wants to date me again, really not paying much attention to the scan. And since there can not be any metal in the tube, or any monitoring equipment, they really do not know what is happening to a person while in the tube. They said that at some point, they noticed that there were no artifacts during the scan. Artifacts means that there was no movement at all from the patient. If someone is alive , their chest at least moves due their breathing. This was after 5 minutes, the time it takes for a brain to go dead without oxygen. If there was not artifacts in the scan for 5 minutes, that means the patient has not been breathing for 5 minutes. Do you see the point of what I am getting at. No one noticed that there were no artifacts for 5 minutes. Therefore , I have to come to the conclusion that , no one was paying attention to the scan for 5 minutes. My imagination runs wild while my wife is dying in the tube.
