Great story. But just so I understand for my own information, there must have been one heck of a cost involved here. Who paid? Is the patient and his family responsible or did medicare or some other source pay for the care???
From what I gather, the family had to pay all costs, although I'm not sure, the article wasn't clear. But it does seem to say that being unable to afford a brainscan, he never got one.
