I have never been a big fan of elevators. Since I was little, i have had a fear of being trapped inside one, and falling 2 my death...a little dramatic, but it's a real concern of mine:/
As you may already know, I am a senior in radiologic technology (x-ray), and I am doing my clinical rotation through St. Francis North. We sometimes have to shoot "portable" x-rays on different floors, so we have a portable machine. Me, a tech @ the hospital, the really heavy portable machine, and some random guy were riding up the elevator to the 2nd floor when it shook, stopped, and an alarm went off. I sat down in the corner of the elevator, completely traumatized! The guy was saying, "You know this means it's gonna fall." Well, let's just say I didn't take his pessimism too well. After staying in there, sweating and near tears, for a while, Some maintenance men pried the door open, and we climbed out. By the time I got back to the x-ray department, I had calmed down a little, but was still shaken up.
Everyone in the hospital thought that it was pretty funny....everyone except me! So if you are scared of elevators, and you ever find yourself in my situation, just think of me, and maybe it will put a smile on your face!
