I get very uneven reports of the adequacy of medical care from Canadian
citizens. YMMV.

Careful. Someone on LDS-Poll, who writes under a pseudonym, made a claim that
there were only 100 MRIs in all of Canada. It turns out there are almost 25 in
Alberta alone (pop.: 3 000 000) after I did some research. Incidentally, private
insurance isn't illegal here -- I have Blue Cross, for instan
I have had several MRI's done (I know that is hard to imagine if you live in
Canada, given the scarcity of MRI equipment there and the prohibition
against private insurance, etc.). Some of the techs have referenced their
own experience with this phenomenon, having watches fly across the room,
etc.
Let's see, Marc is taking the word of a guy who used to work for
Microsoft, and even though no longer employed by them, spends his time
offering to give tours of the grounds of Microsoft's campus
H, yeah, I can see why you would hold his observations so highly on
this one ;-)

Well, I wasn't talking about the patient, of course not, just the workers.

Guess you're right. Here's another:

How sad. I know it's old news by now, but still, how tragic.

WHITE PLAINS The family of a 6-year-old boy killed in an MRI
Googling on "mri kill boy oxygen" gave a couple of hits that looked like
confirmations. The first hit was 404; the second was a safety site
(http://www.altair.org/hazard.html) that included this warning under
"Magnetic":
Ferrous metal objects can pose a danger near high powered
magnet
It couldn't have been a CAT scan, which is just a glorified, spinning x-ray
machine, basically. I heard it was an MRI. I don't dispute Stephen -- he sounds
like he knows what he's talking about, but I can't remember any more than what I
wrote.
