@dlydailyhope Unfortunately I cannot simply ask for any scan or procedure and get it. I live in Ontario and we have a government health plan. We don’t get to decide which scans/procedures we should have. I have asked my doctor for an MRI but because nothing was seen on a CT scan I had been given, the radiologist who did the scan said an MRI is not necessary. If a specialist here says something is not necessary or is nothing to worry about, my family doctor just has to take his/her word for it. Doctors and specialists won’t do anything our government plan won’t pay for - and that also includes prescription medications.
