I had to go to the hospital to undergo a nuclear stress test.
- When the orderly was taking myself and others upstairs where the testing takes place, I was shivering.
I told the orderly that the air conditioning setting was way too high. She laughed as well as said that this section was used for stress tests, and the a/c helped the patients get through the tests better. People tended to get overheated during stress tests. For that reason, they kept the temperature control a bit lower than normal in order to ensure the patients are more comfortable. I got up to the testing room as well as I was quite pleased that I could rest in a chair for the stress test. I didn’t need to remove my street clothes, however I did need to get an adrenaline IV. Within a split third, I felt like I was running in the heat. I was starting to sweat as well as I couldn’t believe the adrenaline rush I was going through. The a/c was on and there was a tall fan blowing on myself and others at the same time. I chuckled to myself when the thought that I wanted to think why the AC was running so cold. I quickly had a good understanding of why the AC component was set so cold. The AC was for those of us who get the stress test. The test isn’t painful or frightening, however it quickly makes your heart as well as body think you are running for your life. When the test was done, they took myself and others back to a hospital room to calm down. I was cheerful the thermostat wasn’t as low in the room, however I now understood the difference in hot as well as cold temperatures throughout the different locations of the same hospital building.
