McAllen Bar.

With everyone's help, Ted's mood improved.

But Adam and the others knew that this was only temporary.

Go back to sleep at night, and wake up tomorrow, Ted will fall into the depression of Anna's death again.

Fortunately, after Adam's diagnosis, Ted was not too sad and had mental illness.

No need to deliberately, just get through this period of time.

Not long after.

When they wake up one morning, they will see Ted who has been completely restored to say hello to them.

"Matthew, Lily, remember to bring Ted there the day after tomorrow."

Before leaving, Adam reminded.

"knew."

Lily agreed.

"Adam, is it really necessary?"

Matthew hesitated: "I think a physical examination in the previous year would be enough.

Now it has been suddenly changed to a half-year physical examination. Will those imaging examinations cause radiation damage to the body, right?"

"Um."

Adam smiled and said, "Don't worry, X-rays and CT do have radiation effects.

Although not high.

But once every six months is not good.

However, nuclear magnetic resonance examination uses biomagnetic field to learn nuclear spin imaging.

It is completely different from X-ray and CT scans to use radioactive rays for imaging.

Therefore, there is no potential harm from radiation when doing nuclear magnetic resonance."

"Since that's the case, why do we hear mostly X-rays and CT?"

Lily said curiously.

"This is not simple, just one word, money!"

Barney interjected.

“It’s right or not.”

Adam glanced at him and explained to Lily and the others: "NMR not only has no radiation hazards, but also can obtain better and more accurate results in various special inspections.

But it also has its drawbacks.

The first one is naturally expensive!

CT examination is not cheap in itself.

emmm.

All right.

It should be said that as long as you go to the hospital, nothing is cheap.

However, NMR is generally more than twice as expensive as CT.

If it is not really necessary, medical insurance will not support you in MRI.

The second is that each inspection method has its own limitations.

The principle of nuclear magnetic resonance is naturally not suitable for patients with pacemakers in the body and metal residues in the body..."

Speaking of this, Adam couldn't help laughing.

But I remembered a Mexican peso that Sheldon had forced into when he was five years old by the fool next door.

Still alive today.

Every time Sheldon takes a plane to go through security checks, it takes an extra 45 minutes to undergo a full-body examination.

That taste...

Once Sheldon gets sick and needs to undergo an MRI, he must first undergo surgery to remove the coins.

Otherwise, after entering the nuclear magnetic resonance chamber and being affected by the magnetic field, Sheldon would be like being attacked by Magneto.

The coins in the nostrils instantly turned into bullets, either exploding Sheldon's nose or his head.

That scene... When Leonard meets him in the future, he will definitely pose as Magneto next to him.

Thinking of this, Leonard's future research project uses magnetic fields to levitate the metal ball in the air, and he often pretends to be Magneto.

It turns out that I had an idea and came prepared.

It is to prepare for a super-powered recovery one day in the future and be able to take action before Sheldon bursts his head with his mind.

"What are you laughing at?"

Lily said curiously.

As Adam said the coin from Sheldon's nostril, everyone laughed, and at the same time, they had a more vivid concept of why some people cannot do MRI.

“Because we want to create a magnetic field, the NMR is not as open as a CT machine.”

Adam continued to explain: “It is semi-closed.

The space is relatively small.

People with claustrophobia cannot do MRI.

Furthermore, although the examination and imaging of MRI is rich and diverse, it does not have the best effect on all diseases.

For example, the display of calcification, acute bleeding, lung examination, etc. are not as effective as CT examinations.

Finally, there is a question of checking the time.

X-rays and CT machines are done in a few minutes.

Now, portable ones have been developed, and results can be quickly produced within one minute.

The MRI test takes about half an hour.

Many acute diseases don’t have time to wait that long.

These reasons together determine that ordinary people do less MRI.

But we don’t need to consider these things for our physical examination…”

“Adam…”

Lily and Matthew were a little embarrassed.

From a comprehensive physical examination once a year to a half year.

This fee is a considerable burden for ordinary people.

And because Adam received a free physical examination, they were of course a little embarrassed.

"Don't think too much."

Adam laughed and said, “This is what I asked you to do.

I asked you to do the inspection, not for you, but for me!

As a famous doctor, if my relatives and friends are around me, I cannot prevent them from finding out that they are sick in advance, especially if they are seriously ill, and treat them in advance.

Then, wouldn’t it be shameless if you say it out?

And it's not just you, Chandler, Monica and the others.

Anyone who is my good friend will be forced to have a comprehensive physical examination by me.

It was once a year before.

Now I think it's best to have one half a year.

Since it is for my understanding of my thoughts, I will naturally arrange everything.

I was originally a doctor, and this fee was nothing to me.

Don’t think too much, just treat it as a good friend’s benefit.”

"Okay, but thank you."

Lily and Matthew said sincerely.

Although they are still young, they are not yet at the age of regular physical examinations and health preservation.

But Ted's wife died of cancer at such a young age, which still touched them a lot.

Only when people are truly close to disease and death can they cherish their health more and more.
