For a second I read your comment as liberal tears, and had to do a double-take. :)
Speaking to the 500$ charge, are you saying that is a typical cost around the world for a MRI? Is there something about the machine's cost that justifies this or are you just saying that a 500$ charge is typical in the american system?

- lostlogin 8y agoThat’s impressive. The purchase price and running cost are high. Then there are expensive labour costs (doctor, probably 2x techs and admin/reception staff. Often a nurse is around for more complex procedure too). Peripheral equipment isn’t cheap, with defib, contract injectors, RIS/PACS, reporting stations etc. Scans are slow relative to CT and x-ray so I have no idea how they make that work. Did you pay the whole bill? I am an MR tech.
