EY...yes I realize it is treatment that saves/helps...but you have to do the tests to determine the treatment. And no I didnt die obviously,but I do have problems stemming from it still..2 yrs later.

My Dr. had reasons for ordering the CAT scan. I didnt ask for(or demand)one.

My point is..when a Dr deems something is necessary,it should be respected. Possibly a second opinion needed to ensure the Dr. was correct. But healthcare should be up to the Dr and not some pencil pushing insurance rep who knows nothing about either medicine or the patient.
