flstf, I did not see this topic earlier and I am relieved that you situation is improving. There have been a number of medical issues within my family that appears to support what your experience has been. No one asks how much it will cost as a rule, because it is our nature to follow "doctor's orders." As RB pointed out, the "cost" can't be answered directly without first knowing whether there is insurance coverage.

Further, I think much of the testing recommended, as well as unnecessary overnight stays in a hospital, are profit driven rather than directed by the actual medical needs of the patient. How could it now be, when we have a for profit medical system?

I wish you a full recovery and good health...
