Nice rep you got, Rusty ;-).<br /><br />I can't say I'm at all up on this subject but I'm always amazed at stories in these articles of people waiting two years for heart tests. Does service vary that widely across the country? I went into Emergency one night and got a cat scan the next morning; six months later when I needed an MRI, the doctor was very apologetic that I would have to wait a week - and this for an MRI for a non-life threatening ailment. <br /><br />I contrast this with people I met in the states who lost their homes paying for their children's medical bills. Working people. with sick children. homeless.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09811694143714068436noreply@blogger.com
