    Also not defending chester Cheeto. But I’m curious why they make you do the cage. That thing absolutely terrifies me, and I was so glad they never made me use it when they were scanning my brain because of my chairi malformation. Maybe it’s because it’s my brain stem they’re looking at?

    At any rate, I’m so sorry you have to go through that. I can’t imagine. Literal nightmare fuel

      I’ve had scans for my brain and neck area and they’ve used a cage always. And the last time they did the neck they did this extra big cage just for that section. It fucking sucks. It’s possible it’s just because I’m in a red state that hasn’t had as much investment in it for medical tech so things are more outdated. Or the people hate me and want me to suffer in that cage. Probably that first one. Or they just need to because they’re scanning the whole brain maybe? I dunno. I just know that I have them put a washcloth over my eyes so I can’t see it because, like you said, nightmare fuel.
