Hospital recommends zoo for 275-pound woman's MRI

mri machine.jpgCarolyn Ragan tells Fox 4 that her 5-foot, 275-pound frame was too big for the University of Kansas Hospital's MRI machine. So, she claims, they told her to the Kansas City Zoo.

"I thought, I know I'm big but I'm not as big as an elephant," Ragan told Fox 4. "And my husband got mad."

Of course, no one at the hosptial would confirm the story, which Ragan said happened two years ago.

The story has a happy ending. Ragan found a machine big enough to hold her after a "frustrating and embarrasing" search. Albeit an "open one." Probably not as embarrassing as having the story told to a national audience. -- Justin Kendall
