I was about to criticise the guy for taking up the 'time use' of an MRI scanner, specially when it took an 8 week stay in hospital, waiting, for me to get one. I see, however, that it's just a research-only MRI scanner he is "toying" with. 
I think his funding needs to be cut.

I was about to post the same thing until I read your post. 12 weeks for an MRI , long time to wait when the swelling was going up every day.

It's easy to get an MRI scan promptly..
Just get cancer, they tend to whisk you in a bit quick then
Not really recommended as a queue jumper though
Or you could go and see that guy scanning veggie and tell him you're a stick of asparagus

Was just the fact that that particular hospital, Walton, is full of idiots, can't read, don't know what diabetes is but prescribe drugs that raise the blood-glucose level through the roof so much so that my eyesight was being affeced, the drugs were prescribed as to "normal" procedure in cases like mine where they had no idea of what was actually wrong with you ... every member of staff were complete nincompoops. Every last one of them!
I was only in for a scan, would have been seen quicker in outpatients.
The misuse of key hospital equipment just annoys me a bit.

Tumour Mucks? tell me this is not so.
Tell me, please, you haven't joined the cancer club.
Crossed my mind an mri scan machine shouldn't have been used for such trivial purposes but as has been pointed out, machine that scanned some spinach and stuff was a research machine only.
One tip: If you're having an mri scan, make sure all plastic cards are not on your person. I left my debit card in shirt breast pocket and the magnetic fields from scan wiped the magnetic strip, lol
Very claustrophobic, them scans, but my last one didn't pick up any nasties which, considering the delay caused by hospital admin, means I am a very lucky fella. Well, lucky in one aspect anyway
Call any vegetable

it was from my imprisonment at Walton hospital in 2010 that they finally found an "anomaly" in my neck ... it's 'name' ranged from a "white blob" to "lesion" to one doctor finally saying the word Tumor.
To be honest, they are not 100% sure what it is, probing in that area could lead to me being a 'superman'. It originally caused the whole of the left side of my body to become totally numb, one could draw a line down the middle. Quite a weird sensation.
Whatever it is, when I bow my head forward, I can reproduce the same result, it's not gotten worse, nor any better, however, I've recently been getting an overall severe painful numbness, especially in my hands & feet, which I believe is more in line with my diabetes, than with my 'friend' in the neck, called Peripheral Neuropathy.
My GP has tried some drugs that can alleviate the pain & numbness, but they have had no effect. He wants a second opinion from a specialist and has persuaded me to see one, he knows I have no intention of ever setting foot inside Walton Prison, err, hospital. (there is actually a Walton Prison).
I'm a little anxious.
