8AM Octreotide Injection (phase 1)

OK, so you know you are in trouble when the nurse comes in wearing a biohazard suit like she was on the way to an Anthrax cleanup site.
Then they produce a thick lead pipe like the kind you would kill Professor Plum with, in the Billiard room, in the game Clue.
Inside this pipe is a blue translucent material that they intend to inject into your body. I guess grandkids are out of the question now.
After a painless injection you are on your way until the first scan happens later that day.
By the way, how do you get 1 hour and 45 mins behind schedule with an 8AM appointment?

Honest to God, there is a sign in the rest room in the Nuclear medicine department
“To control the spread of radioactive material please sit down to urinate and flush three times.” How is that to put your mind at ease. I will try to get a picture of this when I go back tomorrow for phase 3.
