It was a bit strange going to the hospital at night. After checking in, while waiting to be called, the receptionist turned off the lights behind the desk and closed up! On her way out, she reassured me that someone would come for me soon. I waited about 15 minutes.
The technician was all business, not particularly friendly. No gown, I just had to lie down on the table and lift up my shirt enough to expose my rib cage. She kept saying, "Deep breath and hold it," and then she'd mumble, very quietly, "Breathe." Sometimes she forgot to tell me when it was okay to release the breath, so I'd just let go when I couldn't hold it anymore! At first I was lying flat on my back, then she had me roll onto one side, then the other. The whole procedure took about 45 minutes.
