Iceland will be in hospital tomorrow for more scans and tests.They still havent told me the result of the two ECG scans they did in November at St.Thomas,London.I’m assuming that if I was dying,they would have let me know by now.More brain scans and things,but I’m not sure what else as they haven’t told me much-I’m just being admitted to neurology.Depending on what they find out,I might end up going in for a longer stay.So if I’m a bit odd around the boards,it’s a reaction to the physical effects of the scans and the drugs and the emotional effects of spending a day moving round machines in a hospital and being poked and prodded and given weird tests… ---

If you are acting odd on the board, you’d blend in with the rest of the dopers. 😃 ---

You go in the hospital for tests? Wow. They don’t do it that way here normally at all. Hang in there. It’s amazing the weird stuff doctors can do to you, isn’t it? ---

> [@whiterabbit](#): > > You go in the hospital for tests? Wow. They don’t do it that way here normally at all. Wow. Your local hospital has a mobile CAT scan unit? Must get pretty lousy gas mileage. :dubious: That’s odd… Mozilla or my firewall seems to have disabled my automatic smiley ability… I had to type that out… Good luck with the tests, and don’t worry about seeming odd. It’s neat that you’re open about it with us, and we’re glad we have more options to explain such behavior than just thinking you’re a goof… ---

Good luck, **Iceland\_Blue**! Make sure they don’t forget to test you with [the machine that goes “Ping!”](http://arago4.tn.utwente.nl/stonedead/movies/meaning-of-life/03-the-miracle-of-birth.html) [Remember, the NHS will try not to use their most expensive equipment unless one of the administrators is coming round on a visit…] ---

If you’re dying they won’t let you know until they run out of tests. Because if you’re dying and they tell you right away, you won’t pay them to do more tests. :smack: I got docors pretty much figured out. But if they tell you that you have a Brain Cloud, rejoyce! ---

Good luck with all the tests. Remember though, it’s kind of hard to decide which is worse: doing brain scans and finding something, or doing brain scans and not finding _anything_ 😃 ---
