Because “engineer”
Respectfully disagree. It's the politicals on the design team who impose these limitations. The Columbia River Crossing project between Portland and Vancouver withered on the vine because the project team leaders (ODOT no longer requires an engineering degree to be one) ignored Coast Guard and FAA limitations for minimum and maximum vertical clearance and focused on stupid shit like windmills and musical pavement.
 
For me it was the CAT scan after they injected the contrast material when I broke my back and they wanted to check the insides for internal leakage 🤪

Got trichinosis and ended up with pulmonary emboli… (blood clots in my lungs)

Ended up getting for CAT scans with contrast in one year… Hoping I never have a problem as a result of that

Must have been CAT scan. I remember them telling my anus would feel like burning but I dismissed it in the moment until it started happening. Felt like someone stuck a torch up my ass.

Its the contrast.

Some folks feel like they are gonna pee their pants.

MRI contrast (often gadolinium) doesnt have the same side effect.
 
Spend 2-3 hours in mopp gear while running the gas chamber. That will fuck with your mind after a while
I was a 54 B my first go around. Chemical Operations Specialist. I spent a lot of time in mopp 4. Aside from how hot it was, it didn't really bug me. Except when I did live nerve agent, I had my mask cranked on so tight that after a few hours I thought my skull was going to collapse. Supremely uncomfortable but not a great time to be trying to make adjustments.

Gee, why would you intentionally over-tighten your mask? ;)

When I first enlisted, I knew a old Master Sergeant that had been NBC back in the 60s. He said in those days atropine was in a tube like morphine (think WWII). To pass the school, you had to inject your self with one loaded with saline. He said more than one guy made it to that point and dropped out.

When I did chemical school in the late 90's, 2 pam chloride and atropine were in a pressurized injection similar to an epipen.
