Hospital recommends zoo for 275-pound woman’s MRI

January 13, 2009
Justin Kendall,

Carolyn 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.”
