2024 Rendezvous

At the only scan I've had they asked me what radio station I listened to so I had radio 2 also .... but by choice. The only other stations I could think of 'off the cuff' were radio 4 (I thought I may not be able to concentrate on the chat) or radio 1 (which was an absolute no no).

This is most peculiar, as I've had a number of MRI scans done in 3 different hospitals, 2 NHS and 1 at a private hospital via the NHS, and apart from being given ear protectors against the noise, I've never been offered any music.

In fact, the last scan was done on a brand new scanner that was in a truck, and which was on loan or trial from the manufacturer. Unfortunately the scanner was barely being used except for dire emergencies as this was in April 2020 at the peak of the first Covid wave, and the hospital had stopped all elective and non-urgent scans.

Perhaps it's a new thing, Mike. Mine was only a couple of years ago.
