Being dependent on China isn’t just a problem - it’s stupid 🤪
BIDEN & CO could screw up a soup sandwich.
Doesn’t totally shut down CT’s...just CT’s when the Doc. wants contrast.
I seem to recall someone arguing that we urgently needed to stop depending on China for our needs. Think his name was Donald .... something.
Of course it is.
China has us by the nuts. They really do.
Had my MRI with contrast last week for Neck/Brain..geez even the freakin CONTRAST comes from china..enough already with this BS stop depending on them for everything
Thanks to Obamacare, the US medicine is approaching the socialized medicine model.
Long waits, lack of help, inadequate tools.
This is insane, folks.
This is a PUTIN Dye problem.
It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine...
I am sitting on a 6 week wait for the contrast dye for a CT scan. I am lucky.
I feel this poor woman’s frustration and anxiety. A CT scan with Iodine contrast is absolutely essential for determining the extent of a possible malignancy in the kidney. I went through a similar situation several years ago. Back then it was the insurance company causing the delay, and only for 3 weeks. But 3 weeks can make the difference between having a partial or total nephrectomy; or worse, give the malignancy a chance to metastasize.
Having to wait 6 weeks on top of however long she’s already waited is unacceptable in a first world country and could very easily make the difference between life and death!
Renal Cell Carcinoma, once it’s outside of the kidney, is a death sentence. Pray for her, that she may have a successful outcome as I did.
Just had annual CT w/o contrast this week.
And medical devices are becoming hard to get.
Ain’t globalism grand? Thank the Bushes and the GOPe for this. They’ve been pushing it for decades.
