This is really good info on MRI's. Thank you, btk, for starting this thread.

I had an MRI, 5 years ago, and I did not give any thought at all about where to go. I just called a place and made an appointment. It turned out to be one of those places that investors own, I guess, located in a little strip mall. No doctors in sight, although they might have been on the investor-end -- if that is how those things work -- which I think maybe they do. Who knows what's next? -- Maybe a kiosk in a fancy mall. Everything turned out fine, but next time I will choose a place more carefully. But I digress....

So anyway, you know the drill about taking all the jewelry off. Well....Mr. Boomer and I have been married for a long time. And I do not remove my wedding ring, a wide gold band. And....uh oh.....

I twisted my ring. I turned my ring. I lotioned my finger. I soaped my finger. I smeared butter on my finger. I drizzled olive oil on my finger. But.....you guessed it.....through all that slopping and slathering, I kept right on twisting and turning my ring.

So what did I get?

I think you know.

I got a twice as big, fat, swollen, red finger still wearing the ring. And I was due at the MRI that afternoon.

Suddenly a light bulb went off over top my head just like in the cartoons. I went to the drugstore and I bought a tube of magic stuff. Smeared it on. Waited for a few minutes. And off came the ring. As nice as could be.

What was in that magic-potion tube?

Preparation-H.

Yet another helpful hint from,
