An MRI costs like $5,000 or $10,000. I think it seems worth it just to purchase your own MRI. Let's talk about ultrasound goop. The gel helps create an interface between the ultrasound transducer in your body because air doesn't let sound travel very well through it. Tom Cruise apparently was doing ultrasound on Katie Holmes and baby Siri Cruz when Yale doctor said they should wait until their child is born.
Hey, kiddo, it's what's INSIDE that matters -- like your guts and bones and squishy brain and intestines and stuff. Meet Dr. Varshana Gurusamy: diagnostic radiology resident, Texan and amazing person with great stories. You'll learn the difference between an MRI and an ultrasound, between a CT scan and a CAT scan and why you should not put big things in orifices that you might not be able to retrieve them unaided. You'll want to hug a radiologist ... as soon as they take their lead gonad shield off.
