For some of the population, confined spaces such as a crowded elevator or entering a small closet can create anxious, nervous or even terrified feelings.

Recently, a woman chose a Capitol Imaging Services affiliate for her MRI exam. After her visit was completed, she reached back out to us with the following:

“I am beyond claustrophobic”

“I am writing in relation to our conversation regarding my MRI appointment. I am beyond claustrophobic and have panic attacks in small spaces.

I was in an open MRI, but because my head was immobilized, I could not see the opening. My husband was with me the entire time as I have been known to faint or panic. I told all of this to the staff, especially my technologist.

She was wonderful.

I did not panic (much) and was conscious the whole time. She stopped when I hit the button to stop — which was only once and because of the noise — and was very reassuring without treating me like a child. Mostly, she took me seriously and listened to what I said.

We got it done in record time for me and I left exhausted, but feeling fine. I wanted to be sure to say thank you.”

Sincerely,

Alyson E.
