I know doctors who have bought MRIs and they said GE sucks. They wanted to buy American but GE are like rip off thugs. They said their competitors, I think Siemens and Toshiba or Hitachi, were a joy to deal with.
I once dealt with their real estate part up at HQ in CT. they had a building for sale and I called about it. They were the most arrognat idiots.
I loathe GE.
