Did you get the joy of having JP drains with your abscesses?

 

Yes it does leave a metallic taste in your mouth and heat in your body when the dye is going through your vein, if you have to go to the bathroom you better do it before otherwise you might wet yourself down when you're having your scan done. IF you're diabetic an on metformin you're not allowed to take it after about 3days when you take that contrast.
