Unless your broken nose included other head trauma, there is absolutely no reason you needed a CAT scan. It did nothing more then subject you to a *huge* amount of radiation that you don't need, and it didn't do anything that a normal X-ray coudln't do.


And it's a pretty sad indication of what the system's come to and why it's gotten to be so expensive that people can't afford it in the first place.

But see...you are using the B2 bomber. Jeordam - 14/12/2010 03:59:27 PM 630 Views

I really don't understand why people defend the forced purchase aspect Isaac - 13/12/2010 08:22:03 PM 743 Views
This analogy no doubt has its flaws too, but I was just reminded of it... Legolas - 13/12/2010 08:52:31 PM 754 Views
That's precisely the logic, yes. Joel - 14/12/2010 04:31:44 AM 710 Views

yeah, but the courts exist to strike down dumb legislation, which is what this ruling does moondog - 14/12/2010 03:17:04 AM 630 Views
