I feel like he would remember if it was the brain just because they click in a cage thing over your head for the duration of the scan. I get an MRI of my brain once a year for my MS and I would never forget getting one. But hey, who knows, he’s going senile. Maybe he forgot. Or maybe he has some kind of disease in a different part of his body that needs an MRI to diagnose.
Or he’s lying because he doesn’t want to admit to having the cognitive issues he clearly has. Or possibly just because he’s so used to lying at this point it’s just automatic.
Ah yes, that’s probably the most likely. Although I could also just see him not being informed what’s going on in his body because they think he’ll just blab it out one day.
Right now, my mum is developing dementia (we’re waiting on tests to help with a definitive diagnosis). Her memory is very bad, and getting worse. She can forget what she said in one sentence by the time she is part way through the next. If it wasn’t terrible it would be amazing - like she fully 100% has no idea what she said and sometimes will even argue that she didn’t say that thing. So I think it’s completely within the realms of possibility that he doesn’t remember.
I also think that he doesn’t care enough about any of this to even register the information as worth remembering in the first place.
He’s a shitty cunt regardless of the objective assessment of his mental state.
Also not defending chester Cheeto. But I’m curious why they make you do the cage. That thing absolutely terrifies me, and I was so glad they never made me use it when they were scanning my brain because of my chairi malformation. Maybe it’s because it’s my brain stem they’re looking at?
At any rate, I’m so sorry you have to go through that. I can’t imagine. Literal nightmare fuel
I’ve had scans for my brain and neck area and they’ve used a cage always. And the last time they did the neck they did this extra big cage just for that section. It fucking sucks. It’s possible it’s just because I’m in a red state that hasn’t had as much investment in it for medical tech so things are more outdated. Or the people hate me and want me to suffer in that cage. Probably that first one. Or they just need to because they’re scanning the whole brain maybe? I dunno. I just know that I have them put a washcloth over my eyes so I can’t see it because, like you said, nightmare fuel.

Weird I got a brain MRI scan about 4 years ago and there was no cage
Edit: I am in no way defending Trump, just curious about the MRI experience. Trump is a pedo fascist fuck with dementia
I am so jealous. I’ve been getting them for about a decade now and have always had a cage.
There are some newer portable MRIs that kinda look like this
