Sounds like this Doc was a QUACK!!!! I cannot believe this person actually denied you a MRI because of cost!!! Wow. I would have asked him/her that since they are obviously deciding for you what you can and cannot have due to monies are they paying your bills? And if so you could probably give them alot more! What a jerk. This it outrageous. DO NOT LET THIS GO!! You need to let your regular doctor know. By law you have the right to all medical facilities that are available regardless of cost. That is discrimination.

I hope you are feeling better real soon. You should seek a second opinion immediately if you are not.

Chin Up!!! Mark
