Thanks.

I did a full CT scan in Manila a year ago as part of an extensive heart check up. The whole process took less than two hours, and included a CT scan and something called nuclear medicine where they inject some mysterious radiation-related thing into your system and measure your heart while you are on a treadmill getting the heartbeat rate up to some necessary level, and they did a CT scan both before and after

Cost to the hospital - A bit of doctor time, and a few super expensive machines.

It was just a check up.

I can't recall the exact cost, but it was about $800, give or take.

The end result - my heart is fine.

That shouldn't cost $6,000. But I guess, in the USA, it does.
