Cap'n, hoping that new clinic doctor will get ya going soon. Doesn;t anyone out there have a ProScan Imaging or some other free standing MRI, CT, scan, x ay facility that is independent of hospitals. That ProScan down the road from my house charges $499 for an MRI complete with the Radiologist reading and the mri is on a cd for you as well as sent via computer image to the doc's office..
There is anotehr one here that charges $399 called 'Affordable Imaging". Same thing... THey send YOU and the doc a copy of the radiologist's report...
This cuts down the out of pocket expenses.... At least for the pictures so an accurate diagnosis can be obtained..
I do wish you well and hope they get a move on for you.
I know exactly what you are feeling...
