Did they administer the dye while you were on the treadmill? I remember being on that damned thing and tasting the dye a few seconds after they pushed the plunger. It was really unsettling.

I have supraventricular tachycardia, so they really wanted to push me as hard as possible, all while hooked up to the ekg and intravenous.
