All is well in the neighborhood. Leave work, walk across parking lot to the cancer center, scan my blue identification card at the desk, proceed to dressing room, undress, place on one gown front,one gown back, take seat in waiting area, proceed to different waiting area when my name is called, take a seat until my name is called again, when name is called I enter a large room with a door about a foot thick, take supine position on table, take my clothes off to expose chest, right arm above head, left arm above head with left hand into right hand, tech pulls sheets to move me so the lasers line up with the tattoos, techs leave the room closing the thick door on the way out, machine moves and ticking sounds proceed, i shallow breath trying my hardest not to move a millimeter, ticking stops, machine moves around to the other side, ticking again, ticking stops, a voice tells me I can bring my arms down but not to sit up, techs return, the table lowers, the techs help this old lady sit up, i proceed back to the changing room, put my uniform back on, walk back to the ER, high five to a friend, one down.
