They did indeed give me foam earplugs...and headphones. Told them to play Ozzy, Sabbath, AC/DC and Metallica. Sardine, pretty much sums it up. When I had an MRI on my shoulder earlier this year they initially put me in the smaller machine. My shoulders didn't physically fit, in the process of them trying to get me in the thing they rolled my shoulder upwards a bit...damn near had tears in my eyes....
