I’m sure these guys are paid well, but I don’t think you could pay me enough…
Awesome, never knew they did that.I’m sure these guys are paid well, but I don’t think you could pay me enough…
nope! I have anxiety watching.
Recently found out during an MRI I’m claustrophobic. Had an MRI in my late 20’s without an issue. Went in for an MRI about a month ago and couldn’t do it. Probably has more todo with me being more robust in my 50’s than my 20’s
I got it rescheduled for an open MRI. What a difference.I have had some discomfort in standard size MRI tunnels, had to breathe slowly and think of anything but the fact I was stuffed into that tube and couldn't move. I found an imaging provider that has a larger size tunnel, and it solved the borderline panic situation.
Define well..... Yea, Its a no for me!I’m sure these guys are paid well, but I don’t think you could pay me enough…
I could do that all day long and twice on Sunday. Get in a helicopter? No way in hell. It wasn’t backfilled with boulders, that area is solid rock, and they likely blasted the whole way with TNT get put that pipe line in, and used imported backfill that washed away with the flow of the water.
They are paid very well but underwater welding is a dangerous job.I’m sure these guys are paid well, but I don’t think you could pay me enough…

Lol!Your a better man than I...
I'll tell you what: I'll let you crawl in the pipe and I'll get on the helicopter, have we got a deal???
In those MRI tubes it relaxes me and I fall to sleep....the noise is like a rythum to me or something like that.I've had my share of MRI's over the years and it's something I use to dread. This is my new routine before climbing into the tube: An hour before my MRI I take 2 melatonin's to relax my nerves. I bring my own earplugs because the earplugs typically provided are cheap and uncomfortable to wear. I bring a new wash cloth with me, soak it with water, wring it out gently, cover my face, relax my mind, body, soul and tell the technician to get this party started. Works for me...
Wth?!nope! I have anxiety watching.

In your opinion.....and I recognize that going down in a tube 100+ feet is totally different....if you find a MRI tube relaxing would that lend itself to being able to go down tubes like you did? Just curious on your take.....for me I can't imagine even attempting that.I am one of a small group of people that has been down the elevator into the tunnel/tower on lake arrowhead. Its down over 180’ if I remember correctly, and is the tallest elevator in all of San Bernardino county. Built in the early 1900’s. We had to remove the top half of a rising stem gate valve that is one of three that are in series that hold back the lake. They are the drain line, and I want to say 24” lines. There are two lines in parallel, same configuration. There was only one valve ahead of the one we removed, and if it failed, we’d be flushed out a mile long tunnel into willow creek. That didn’t bother me a bit. The elevator on the other hand was sketchy. Round cage in a vertical round tube, with a winch motor on the top, and a cable attached to the top of the elevator cage. That’s it. No safety equipment.
Not me, my body orifices would most likely chum up the water.I could do it, but it would take a little to work up to it. The 42 would not be too bad. The 24 that you are the torpedo in would be harder.
When I was a kid, we lived in a housing tract that had culvert pipes that ran across roads and drainage basins and so forth. I’d crawl up those things all the time. Shit like that don’t bother me in the least. Try and put Christmas lights on the second story of my house, no fucking way. I make my daughter do that.In your opinion.....and I recognize that going down in a tube 100+ feet is totally different....if you find a MRI tube relaxing would that lend itself to being able to go down tubes like you did?

Fuck thatis this worst or about the same...
Never had an MRI until earlier this year (59) it was all I could do to not hit the button. Never had an issue with claustrophobia before and didn't think I would but it was not fun.Wth?!
Happened exactly same way to me. I couldn't push the red panic button fast enough. ended up having to do the open "pancake" style too.
And to segway back to the thread topic it's apparently why I had issues and had to surface while attempting to scuba dive.
Yeah, my Ortho tried it twice on me before opting for open style. Second time on some Xanax but both ended in failure.Never had an MRI until earlier this year (59) it was all I could do to not hit the button. Never had an issue with claustrophobia before and didn't think I would but it was not fun.
