LOS ANGELES, CA – An MRI scanner that has been cooped up in the radiology department at Olive View-UCLA Medical Center for the past 5 years without seeing the light of day has reached its breaking point and just paged the doctor to see if he could get some intravenous (IV) Ativan.
The hospitalist didn’t know the MRI had a name. Or was fluent in the English language. Or had emotions. Or had IV access.
The hospitalist obliged and Mitchell the MRI scanner was incredibly grateful. Just before hanging up, a patient was wheeled into MRI and asked Mitchell if he could speak to the hospitalist too.
