Why would you consent to having an MRI if you had no idea what it was for?

You have no idea what they scanned, but know that the results were good?

When the doctor gave you the results, were you not interested in what he was checking for?

Doubt.

Doctor orders a noninvasive test, I take it. From that perspective, I understand it. But the man just doesn’t care to know … anything. His brain is just a steady stream of fake tits and tumbleweeds.

I would also remember why they ordered the scan, because I do care about that aspect of it. I’m not a doctor, but I do know there’s a difference between cancer and a slipped disc.

There's no such thing as a non-invasive test.

Even if there were zero risks for the actual procedure, and they're just doing it for the fuck of it, what happens if they find a little abnormality? Now you need a biopsy, more scans, and possibly treatment for something that doesn't show any symptoms and never would have.

Words have meanings: non-invasive test

Follow-up tests may be invasive. That’s not relevant to the definition of “non-invasive test”.

Being scared of the possibility of finding something also is not relevant to the definition.
