-- Posted by GlassHearts at 6:26 am on July 10, 2009 Has anybody had one before? What exactly happens? Please dont leave stupid comments.. ive gotta have one this afternoon and i'd just like to know a little more about them.. Thanks. x -- Posted by Dexter Ward at 6:27 am on July 10, 2009 You either stand or lay down, they put the plate with the film behind you, they take the x-ray. Edit I should also note the X-ray is painless in itself. -- Posted by Chasey at 6:28 am on July 10, 2009 They make you hold your breath then have you stand infront of this weird thing and it takes the xrays, or they make you lay on this table thing and the xray machine goes over you -- Posted by Thanantos at 6:28 am on July 10, 2009 Quote: from HarrySunderland at 6:27 am on July 10, 2009 You either stand or lay down, they put the plate with the film behind you, they take the x-ray. This. What is wrong? -- Posted by Mods1Blow2Me3Daily at 6:29 am on July 10, 2009 me and nothing spectacular, the on got was a standing ex-ray. and the end result was a picture of my innards -- Posted by marshmellowman at 6:29 am on July 10, 2009 Quote: from HarrySunderland at 2:27 pm on July 10, 2009 You either stand or lay down, they put the plate with the film behind you, they take the x-ray. Pretty much, it shouldn't take long, and these days (at least here in the UK) they don't even use film anymore, it's all digitised. -- Posted by crashdummi7 at 6:29 am on July 10, 2009 and dont move either, nothing bad happens, it just messed up the xray and u have to do it again -- Posted by Sterly at 6:29 am on July 10, 2009 if your shirt has buttons they have you take it off -- Posted by GlassHearts at 6:31 am on July 10, 2009 Quote: from Sterly at 2:29 pm on July 10, 2009 if your shirt has buttons they have you take it off Wont be wearing that then XD I hope to keep my clothes ON. -- Posted by Chasey at 6:33 am on July 10, 2009 What did you do ? Are you okay ? -- Posted by Fishboner at 6:37 am on July 10, 2009 First, you take your pants off. -- Posted by GlassHearts at 6:38 am on July 10, 2009 Quote: from Chasey at 2:33 pm on July 10, 2009 What did you do ? Are you okay ? Ive been having problems with my heart and stuff..  the doctor kept ignoring it because he didnt know what it was, and he finally said i should get an xray done to rule anything out (like i had a nasty fall about 18 months ago where i damaged my ribs,which might of somehow damaged something else)but just to make sure nothing shows up on that, then ive gotta go to a specialist ]:   -- Posted by Chasey at 6:39 am on July 10, 2009 Quote: from GlassHearts at 2:38 pm on July 10, 2009 Quote: from Chasey at 2:33 pm on July 10, 2009 What did you do ?

It really is easy though and it takes all of 5 minutes. You go in and then they do it and your done. Easy Peasy.
