They do MRIs outside hospitals?
I had one in a mall yesterday! It was scheduled by my doctor 4 years ago and I guess it was finally my turn. I was sent to a private one on the government's dime because I didn't have to pay anything, probably because the backlog is so long. Quebec's healthcare system is not doing great.
That sounds like a very USA statement. Except for the part about receiving free healthcare. An MRI in a mall is very funny to me for some reason.
I’ve never had an MRI in a hospital.
I've never had an MRI. I want to, though. I love MRI machines.
It’s boring and loud and often expensive (in the US)
Maybe if you're not into machinery, but I wanna be in that tube.
Some private practices or specialty clinics have MRI scanners but may not be equipped to deal with such damage as this.
There was a semi-recent incident at a diagnostic center where a police officer ignored a warning sign with predictable results.
Wow. Raid a doctor's office looking for weed, kill a machine worth more than your life, and then leave your ammo. What a cop.
That's fantastic
There are imaging centers that are medical facilities but are not necessarily equipped to handle acute trauma
