I’m firmly convinced that x-rays are a test. If you can bend your body in the positions they need–then you must be fine! In fact I think they may just be pretending to take x-rays. Then your doctor holds up the film and says “hmmm” and tells you nothing is broken.
I was getting x-rays to see why my knee hurts when I bend it. Pretty sure I already knew the diagnosis–less ice cream, more exercise, yadda yadda yadda. Of course I had to lay on the table and bend my knee. Then I had to cross the other ankle over the bottom foot and tuck it in this way. No, a Little more to that side. Just a teeny bit more bend.
Afterwards I suggested they might want to cover the x-ray table with a cloth from that “Twister” game. Then they could arrange the patient in the desired position by calling directions like “right hand orange”, “left foot blue”.
Weirdest thing though….She thought I was kidding. I was also going to suggest an “Operation” game to explain procedures, but I decided to wait on that. The world just isn’t ready for my kind of logic.
