Imagine you need an MRI exam, but you can't get one because you're too big for the machine.  

FOX 4 medical reporter Meryl Lin McKean has the story of one woman who says she was told she could go to the zoo for an MRI. 

Carolyn Ragan has been through a lot since a tumor was found on her spine, including surgeries and paralysis. But she says nothing was as humiliating as a trip to the hospital to get an MRI two years ago. 

She was told that at 5 feet and 275 pounds, none of the MRI machines would hold her.  Carolyn says an assistant began searching for one elsewhere that would.
