I got to skip an entire MRI wait line because I'm skinny I was at a hospital imaging center and I was told there was a long wait for MRIs.  I keep a book on my phone for these purposes so I sat down and started reading. The room was filled with young and old obeasts. After about 5 minutes of sitting there an older gentleman that works there sees me. I hear him ask a nurse about a certain room then he asks me if I was claustrophobic and I responded I wasnt. He said I can do your MRI now if you're ready. There's no reason for you to wait on the open MRI if you arent claustrophobic or overweight. Apparently they had to make an MRI machine specficially for the obese because they couldn't fit into the normal tube one. So I was in and out in about 45 minutes when the estimated wait just to get taken back was 2 hours and then 30 minutes for the actual scan.
