Thanks to my inquiring mind and great Cali Medical options at bargain prices I now know more about my heart than bill Clinton did a few months ago when he got surprised,.
I did a heart scan,an MRI type view of the heart.The machine they just got here is way ahead of the one I used in the states.It can show cross sections of cartoid arteries including Calcium blockage.It showed a possible problem so today I did a cardiograph,a look at the heart arteries from the inside with a littele tv probe in the arteries.The issue is minor,maybe 30% blockage max.It was a piece of cake 30 mimiute proceedure.But I have to lay flat for a day to let the artery in my leg where they went in heal.
The heart scan is about $450.Beatriz my girlfriend works as a nurse at Imbanaco,the clinic.She got me a 25% discounht on that.The cardigraph about $1350,Beatriz went up the line with her bosses to get me a 50% discount on that.She also worked all night last night so she could spend all day with me today.It would have been hard tom figure out things without her.What a girl.What a find.She loves to do all she can for me.
These test would cost 10 times as much in the .states and your insurace would not pay for the first and the second only if you already had serious symtoms.I had none,it was purely precautionary.
Imbanaco prides itself on first class preventitive care.Probably the best medical facility in Cali.
