In Canada, unless it's an emergency, MRIs can take months to be scheduled for. ("Emergencies" are quick though ...)
If we just "want" one, like to look for any new pretty lights in our brain, we can get one immediately (through a private clinic) at a cost of about $500 - $800.
How in the heck do they justify charging $4,000??
Whether it is paid for or not, IMHO, having one is a HUGE expense. Can you imagine how much it costs "the system" for something that doesn't really provide any useful information?
But, if you really wanted one, Kelly . . . remember you can fly to Vancouver for about $400, pay about $600 to have one, and enjoy a great holiday with me
on the $3000 you'd save.
