Hey all,I'm reaching out because my 40 year old son in law was told last night in the Emergency Room that they "suspect strongly" that he has an un-ruptured aneurysm in the right side of his head. They said he needed an MRI stat....but they didn't have a tech.Nor could any of the hospitals within a 150 mile radius do one. So they sent him home (which is 50 miles from the nearest medical care) Telling him that his family Dr. would have to "order" it.Along with the instructions,"if the pain gets worse before the MRI,come back,they'd give him more pain meds,no heavy lifting,no bending,no stress,no work" So,he was calling at 8:00 am to his Dr.....we just heard back(11:00),the 20th of this month???? That's stat??So we asked ..........the answer? "Oh nobody is doing MRI's unless it's a massive accident or something to that affect"

All that being said my question to all of you is this : Is any one else having these same issues? Or is this just a Northwest issue?? Thanks!!
