Unless the acid reflux is a temporary feint and the CAT scan it to find the real problem.
In most cases, it's a clinical diagnosis.
But from the stories we've been spoon-fed by the media, Obama went in for a sore throat.
Again you would never CT scan someone for a "sore throat".
UNLESS, as the stories are telling us, Obama had a fiberoptic look-see first.
Again, that is not standard of care for a "sore throat".
Really have any of you been scoped when you said you had a sore throat?
The scope showed something strange, so the doctors are looking for a serious cause.
And FGS, they wouldn't be CT scanning the area for a benign condition.
I hope it's nothing, but the press is really pissing me off about this.
Go find the world's stupidest doctor and ask him if a CT scan is EVER used for a benign sore throat?
Well, if suspected, I would agree with that.
I will say that an endoscopy would probably do as well at less cost, but I’m not sure how they price these things so anyone’s guess is as good as mine.
