sm1mex Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 I stopped by the hospital today. It is really nice. They have CT scan and Mammogram equipment now, but not MRI or Bone Density Tests yet. It looks like they will be getting this equipment in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideSky Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 MRI is there but I'm told there is a software issue but who knows for sure. CAT scan is operational and you can have your results by the next day along with a diagnostic report from the doctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With their stated goal of having 80 employees and 18 beds, they must expect a lot of testing to meet these overheads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter knows the MRI tech at Chopo on Justo Sierra and no way do they make that kind of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Chillin' you're comparing two different countries. How much does a Doctor's appointment cost in the States and compare it to here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
