Don't know your location, in Rochester NY done in the Quack's office it equals $1300 in his pocket.
Last goround I had more tests than it took to graduate high school and most were wrong information when the turkey carver split my core support and fixed stuff. He turned me back over to Dr Makabuck who decided I needed some test or implant every time he saw me, generally something that paid him over $10k. I fired his ass and hunted up a Cardio who knew what he was doing. $ years later either I had a miracle or the guy looking to make every possible dollar was flat full of shit.
Read the form they want you to sign before you get on the conveyor belt real careful. When I got to "This test may kill you" I quit reading and told them NO. The nurse said most people don't bother actually reading it, and they ain't killed anybody yet. I told her I wasn't about to change her statistics!
I figure unless a real doctor explains to me exactly what the test will tell them, and what they will be able to do with that result I ain't playing! Most times when we get to that point the Quack admits he's just upping the bill.
