At my MRI today, I was told that I would need contrast, but before that I would have to take a pregnancy test (I told the tech that there was no way, but they dont take people's word for it - no problem - I get it) The thing is, I used the toilet before I left the house, so being able to fill the little cup was not happening.
No one offered me any other options whatsoever. Actually they behaved more like I was just being difficult, and didnt want to cooperate with them rather than having an illness that would cause difficulty with urination.
After the third hour and trying several times (futile), I finally said - cant you give me a blood test? They told me it would be another 2 hours if they got in contact with my dr who would need to order it.
Is this how it is everywhere or is this hospital just a special case? Are there just no options for you if you are physically unable to do a test? Any suggestions on what I could do if this happens again or is it just a hazard of being a young female with MS?
