Hey, you gonna eat that?

Welcome back and sorry for the delay! Here we go.
About three years ago I was working overtime on the evening shift for some extra cash. The evening shift functions with at a more casual pace than the day shift because typically you have fewer techs. You end up working alone more often than not. This is especially true if you are the technologist who is doing the portable exams. One night I was asked to go to Bariatric, the over-weight wing, and take a regular old, run of the mill chest x-ray of a woman who was every bit of 600 lbs. THAT'S 600 LBS. PEOPLE! Think of the largest person you know, and make 2 or maybe 2 1/2 of them! This was going to require using all my little tricks of the trade if I was to get an "ok" film. Which means you'd have to see the lungs. After much struggle, the film just ok. The lungs were visiable but everything else was under penetrated. In one of the lungs you could see this weird "metallic-like" webbing on the edge of the lung.....really foreign and definately abnormal. Soooooooo the Doctor asked to repeat the film and insturcted me to physically look at the area to make sure that there wasn't anything laying on the body that would give off this appearance. I trucked my annoyed little self back up to the floor and explained to the woman why we needed to perform the chest x-ray again. So I placed my x-ray cassette behind her. Again. This time, before I shot, I asked her to raise her arm up so I could see that area. To my delight, there was nothing there. I told her she could lower her arm. As she did, I heard a muffled crunch. I said to the patient,"That must have hurt." She said that she didn't feel anything. So I asked her to lift and lower her arm again. She raised her arm. I heard nothing. She lowered it and I heard the crunch again. I asked her,"You didn't feel that?" She didn't feel a thing. So I did what any nosy tech would do. I asked her to lift up her arm and I told her I was going to look under her tent, I mean her gown. Against my better judgment, I took a look and I saw something kinda blue and chromey stuck between a couple of folds. Thank God almighty, I was wearing gloves because what I did next I DO NOT RECOMMEND! I spread the two-three folds with one hand and gently pulled on the chromey object with the other. She didn't seem to have any pain so I kept pulling until......I removed a half eaten bad of Doritos and not one of those little snack packs either. I'm talking about the Grand-Daddy size bags that you buy for the Superbowl party at your house!!!!! She says to me,"Dat's where dat went....I been wonderin' bout dem for bout a week."
I shot the film and left as quickly as I could but as I left, I heard the distinct sound of someone eating chips! Ewwwwwwwhhhhhhh!!! As a result of that I can't always eat chips. If anyone needs me.....I'll be doing sit-ups.
