Late this afternoon, this fourth-year med student came by and asked Dad if he could do some MRIs on him. The student has to do 200 as part of work at the hospital. Since we were still waiting for results, Dad agreed and was happy to have something to occupy him during the wait. Plus, Sister, Mom and I thought it would be neat to watch.
He started with Dad's carotid artery. When he got to Dad's thyroid, we heard Mom say,"Rick! Your thing is long! It must be 30 inches."
Beth and I literally fell out of our chairs we were laughing so hard, and the med student was pretty tickled, too. I laughed so hard I nearly fainted!
Mom ended up walking out of the room because she was so embarrassed. The medical student proceeded to MRI Dad's liver, kidneys, gall bladder and heart, but Mom sat quietly in the corner with a grin on her face.

My word. That's rather daunting...
