Where I live they have an MRI lab on every other street corner. Why not when they charge thousands of dollars for one test, and they love me because I have insurance that covers it. I still don't feel lucky somehow. Thanks for your kind thoughts. Kevin Heather & Pieter wrote: >Wow Kevin. You are lucky to be able to have MRI's in the USA.
