You know how people say that something saved their life sometimes, but they don’t mean it literally? Well, used medical imaging equipment saved my life, and I don’t mean it figuratively. There I was minding my own business one day, when I felt a pain in my side. The pain was moderate at first, and then grew into being unbearable within a few hours. I wasn’t sure what it could be, but my brother said we need to go to the Emergency Room now! So he drove me over there and they admitted me right away due to the acute nature of the pain.
Before I knew it the doctors were poking and prodding and then they performed an ultrasound test on my thoracic cavity so that they could get a better sense of what was going in my body. Long story short, the medical imaging technolog was able to show the doctors that I had a large cyst in my side and that it needed to be removed pronto, because it was pushing on my other organs. So I scheduled the surgery and before I knew it I was feeling much better. In my case, medical equipment really did save my life, and I’m much healthier and happier because of it!
