Claudia: ‘I started running half marathons when I was 55. After my last edition, my leg pulled weird for a week, as if something was wrong with my hip. Scared, because I want to continue running for a long time. When I heard about a preventive MRI scan of the hips and pelvis at Prescan, I immediately wanted to try it out. I immediately grab the body scan, so that I can have it checked whether my liver is still pulling the many wine tastings (which are associated with my work).
Reassuring voice
On the way to Baarn, I get nervous at the thought of a closed MRI scan. I am mildly claustrophobic and suddenly encased in an MRI scan instills fear in me. Once inside, client hostess Sylvia manages to reassure me. She tells me that today’s MRI scans are much more human-friendly than those of the past and that MRI lab technician Roy immediately takes me out as soon as I squeeze a ball. Okay, inhale and go. The MRI turns out to be wider than I thought. He is white, and I get to see a nature film. My heart is still pounding, but Roy’s reassuring voice calms me down. This gives me the confidence that I can let go. In fact, after an hour I don’t even want to get out, because finally me-time. No one can disturb me in the scan.
