I got into it with the local independent imaging business as even though by law there is no requirement for a referral or dr. order for coronary artery calcium score test, and they agreed no dr order needed, but they refused to perform it without a dr to send the results to, and I AM PAYING CASH to boot. I insisted they explain to me exactly why I needed a permission slip to pay my cash for a test on MY BODY? They got irritated with me lol. Corrupt BS system no doubt. Yes there are many good people working in health care, including myself at one point and my wife, but FUCK the decision makers to the moon and back.
The stubborn part of me wants to simply remove myself from the system all together and NEVER step foot in a facility again health ramifications be damned.........................but alas I do have others in my life who my passing would negatively affect so no dying for principals at this point.............................
