Keeping Your Patients Straight Is Harder Than It Looks

(I’m getting an x-ray done of my back for a suspected back fracture. Essentially, I am in so much pain I can’t stand straight; I’m sort of bending over and favoring one side. The technician is setting me up by the machine but frowns.) 
 
Technician: “Can you stand up straight? We aren’t going to get a clear picture this way.” 
 
Me: *wincing, gasping in pain as I clearly struggle to even stand up* “No?” 
 
Technician: “Oh… Right.” 
 
(She figured out another way.)
