OT: Things we find freaking neat but no place to post

How efficient are things in your neck of the woods for getting your child in for a MRI? Of course, I can shell out the $895, I can get it done next week.

/If I stick with public healthcare, I'm probably waiting a year

If you throw another 0 on the end of that figure you'd basically have what it costs to get an MRI here.

In other words, I should stop griping, is that what you're saying?



/Pretty much resigned myself to paying

When I had them peek at my knee last year, I had to wait three months to get into the big machine. Plus I had the benefit of paying through the nose for it.

And there are MRI places on every street corner down here. The one I went to was between a Buffalo Wild Wings and a Nail Salon in a strip center. I am not making that up.


There's gotta be some kind of happy medium.

Yeah, I don't know quite what the final number worked out to be, but that one event tapped my deductible for the year. I paid a grand.

First time in three years I'd used any of my deductible.

Yeah, it's totally out of control.

My wife had a minor procedure done a few months back and we got copies of all the bills even though she has insurance.

Every time one showed up I

I lost (most of) a chiclet a month ago, and after insurance paid their part, I owe 1200.

For ONE tooth. Not even a whole tooth, a crown. 2nd year in a row I'll be hitting my deductible.

I want to know what the dentist is making on it.



The Mrs is happy because the 18th anniversary gift is "porcelain" and we don't need a new toilet.

I can't figured out exactly what happened. I don't think Christy Clark won this election as much as Dix blew it.

Edit: CBC says Dix is elected in his riding, but Clark is trailing in hers (lol)
