Good point... But many years ago I dislocated my shoulder for the 4th time playing hockey and my family doctor booked two separate appointments for me. One was for MRI and the other was to see a specialist/orthopaedic. Long story short, I had my shoulder surgery 4 months after my initial visit to my family doctor, before I even got my MRI date. But hey, I paid a total of $12 on a shoulder brace for post op recovery  |
You had surgery before there was an MRI? A US insurer wouldn't pay that claim, and you could sue the doctor, etc. Very glad it worked out well for you (I'm assuming), as things could have gone sideways if there was something else unexpected (like a tumor, fracture, etc.) while you were under the knife...
