There's a large ad in the airplane magazine for Lima's first full body prophylactic MRI scanner.

"Perfect for healthy adults and those with no symptoms!" Proclaims the ad.

(Well, perfect for discovering meaningless incidental artifacts that will lead you to subject yourself to weeks of worrying and invasive follow-up testing and appointments and re-scans. . . none of which is covered by insurance since you're not sick. . . oooh hospital administrators, clever clever, I get it.)

Strange contrast to literally 20 hours ago when my patient's family couldn't afford a course of Albendazol (12 cents) for their child with severe anemia secondary to intestinal multiparasitosis.

What a wide and wonderful world it is.
