29. They Probably Would Have Waived It

Their FAQs at the hospital says gold dental work is fine.
And, the MRI is for the head. So, if it's ok in my mouth it should be ok on my finger.
My crowns are 12K: the ring 18K.
But, I was going to have to get it removed and resized eventually, so I figured to just do it now.
