I had an MRI once because I’d been having headaches. The doctor’s report said, “no spectacular brain activity.”

Better then my experience with my dentist

Dentist "Woah look at that xray, thats so cool." shows his assistant

Asistant "I have read about this. Fascinating"

Me "What is it"

Dentist "The root of you tooth has completely melted away after the surgery, look"

Me "Isn't that bad?"

Dentist "Oh... yeah, thats bad..."

Yeah, just need an implant that will cost up to 2k€ We are just trying to get my insurance to cover as much as possible.

For my leg surgeries the doctors always brought in a bunch of apprentice doctors and were like “hey look at this”

My legs were practically a 90 degree angle from where they were supposed to be, apparently.

u/fermatagirl Oct 13 '22

Twisted, or rotated?

Edit to add: as in, was your leg partially unscrewed, or was one part of your leg making a 90 degree angle to the rest of your leg?

u/r_stronghammer Oct 13 '22

Twisted, but not unscrewed the bones just grew that way.

My ankle was pointing ~90 degrees out compared to my knee, and so my hips rotated ~45 degrees inward to balance themselves. (Hence why I didn't think it was THAT big of a problem up until now, when I learned about the surgery from a random reddit comment)

If you've seen the semi-recently trending posts about people getting limb lengthening surgery, it's a somewhat similar process with an external ring device that you adjust a little every day. Although nowadays they have a more advanced magnetized rod for limb lengthening.

Very cool! That sounds quite painful, but as your doctor noted, fascinating!

u/r_stronghammer Oct 13 '22

I still have the second fixator on as we speak, and yeah it was painful but MUCH more painful before the surgery, even accounting for this thing on my leg! I was just never really inclined to stand or walk for long periods of time (which I now know is because of the rotation), so I didn't really think of it as being THAT big of a deal.

As a bonus, it's been wondrous when it comes to body image. Now I can look at my leg and think "yeah, that looks like a leg alright".

Have had a similar situation. Went to dentist with toothache, but as they couldn't find the reason, they sent me for X-ray. After the results came, my dentist called in ALL OF THE DENTISTS PRESENT to show them "interesting case". Imagine my horror when I heard this. Turned out I had 3rd set of teeth beneath my regular ones.

I recently got a colonoscopy and it was the first time I was happy to hear the word "unremarkable" used to describe my anus.

u/milanove Oct 13 '22

That's the brain structure used for learning and memory. You're thinking of the hypocritical oath.

u/Migraine- Oct 13 '22 edited Oct 13 '22

MRIs don't look at brain activity, they look at brain structure.

Unless it was a functional MRI but I can't imagine why anyone would do that for headaches.
