"PET scan at Nuclear Medicine"

From my arrival all the staff I dealt with were very friendly, polite and helpful.

I did have a major concern however and that was the claustrophobic effect I knew I would experience being inside the "doughnut". Again, the staff were very sympathetic and promised to give me some sedation prior to the actual scan. Unfortunately, the 5mg of valium I was given had little or no effect and as such the whole scan experience was very stressful.

I fully understand the hospital has to exercise care with such medication, but I did emphasise several times my stress concerning the procedure.

Technician/nurse(?) James was particularly helpful and assisted me through the event.

Notwithstanding the stress aspect I would like to express my  sincere thanks to all concerned.

Thank you,
