Discussion: I have prolonged pain due to my diabetes, I went to my attending physician for an MRI, and he politely refused me, claiming there was no need.

Diabetes is a severe disease but quite common. Doctors reserve MRI examinations for urgent cases where there is a danger to life, or the patient needs surgical intervention. MRI is one of the most expensive imaging tests; doctors are required to save on its examination.

MRI imaging is a costly test relative to alternatives (CT, ultrasound, and the like). Doctors keep the MRI test for several more urgent conditions, including cancer patients, fear of cancerous tumors, complex surgeries, and life-threatening situations. It inevitably means that many patients are refused an MRI even with comprehensive health insurance. Some countries produce a deliberate shortage of MRI equipment to avoid the high financial outlay. I self-funded the MRI then, whereas my extended health insurance refused to fund the test. You can see in the gallery that I was in a terrible situation! (The cost was about $ 1000)
