Advice mainly to men, but can be for women too
Went for my 3 month scan yesterday. All women fully clothed. All men in surgical robes. Why? No metal allowed in scan machine and you men have zips on your jeans/trousers....my advice is wear joggers and a tshirt
It can be cold on your old knees, let alone us women seeing your Calvin kliens....haha
Hugs...
I agree! I modified a bra to be metal free, wear elasticated waist trousers and t shirts so I am in and out of the CT scanner quickly. More dignified for me and more efficient for the staff - who, by the way, are always wonderful.
