#hospitalglam in a late night at Mount Sinai - Abandoned hospital corridors at 1am are surreal and eerie while code calls shatter the stillness. 

Hospitals here run their MRI/CTs 24/7 to get maximum number of patients through. They run all night, banging and chirping away. 

My tech was very experienced and kind, and knew about EDS, which is a first. This is my sixth MRI. It was a long one, well over an hour, multiple series of pelvic vascular and neural, an endurance test of overload. 

They are so loud, if you have neuropathy it’s like being in a slow motion crash and staying still is excruciating. The position meant I lost all feeling in my hands and my leg but it was the fastest way to do it. 

Tech let me curl up in a ball after for about ten minutes and gave me lots of time to reorient and get feeling back.
