Agreed, that feels weird. Unless the person is into that. But that’s for another thread.
Add being sick or injured and it’s tough for some.

Radiographer, I presume?

Boy howdy, I serviced MRI, CT, PET, and NM for 30 years. Techs are the best.

The best stories, hands down, are from the Technologists.
My mother had to go in for an MRI and I was not able to go with her. I had a good long convo about what it was going to be like. All the banging, clicking and waiting is completely normal. Later she told me my explanation really helped her. Folks generally have no clue how images are made. For the Technologists to spend more time trying to blah blah blah to each and every single patient, would make their days just brutal.
I’ve seen it, over and over. There’s simply a gazillion ways to explain this stuff. To “hand hold” every patient is just not possible.
I’m with Gary.
Get in, get out, quit effing about.
