I've reviewed my nine-year-old records. I had an ERCP, not an MRCP. The ERCP is more invasive, and can take X-rays, and allowed the gastroenterologist to insert a stent in my blocked bile duct.

I am in Kaiser in San Diego. I didn't feel they downplayed any test results. I think all doctors, including those at Kaiser, are very conscious of their potential legal liabilities if they overlook threats to your health. I asked for a second opinion at UCSD, but they would not pay for it.
