Yeah... so what? Hey, if you'd like some fresh out of a two week course youngster performing the scan and interpreting the results go for it. I'd rather wait the couple of weeks and get my scan performed by a Medical Imaging Technician and interpreted by a qualified Physician. Hope this helps.

"Most times?" Simply not true. And why are you trashing another country's healthcare system anyway? According to Hoechst Marion Roussel's second annual Canadian Consumer Survey on Healthcare, Canadian group benefit plan members give these high marks to their publicly funded healthcare system: 78% rate Medicare as "good" or "very good." Canadians have a life expectancy of 80.7 years compared to 78.1 years for Americans. Canada achieves that universal coverage, again according to the O.E.C.D., by spending 10.1 percent of its gross domestic product on health care, far less than the 16 percent level of the United States.

Jul. 10 2009 12:55 PM ET The Canadian Press OTTAWA -- Canadians think their American neighbours would be wise to look north as they grapple with a massive health-care overhaul. That's the conclusion drawn from a new poll published as Capitol Hill legislators debate a plan to cover nearly all Americans with government-run health insurance. The Canadian Press Harris-Decima survey suggests 82 per cent of Canadians believe our system is better than U.S. health care.

It's all about priorities. Canadians are not as important as animals . .LOL Only kidding. If it's like the UK it's because, you have to pay the vets, (too much money)they'd do a scan for a broken nail/claw, if they thought you'd pay the bill if you have private health care I bet it's quicker than state supported health care or NHS in uk
