How much do you think a hamster MRI costs?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (4 children)

Same as a human mri, from what I looked up it's like $1k

Found the American.

My last MRI they billed 20k

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

My last MRI they billed ~$70. No insurance involved, a plain straight "you walk in from the street, you pay this" price.

If this is an American hamster, I hope it's got a decent job with good health insurance.

I had both my knees done, I think it was AUD$400 because it was GP not specialist referred. Probably one of the more expensive things you can get done in this country, but I'm thankful it was only that much hearing from the yanks.

Couldn't you save a lot of money by scanning a few dozen at the same time?

Hypothetically yes, logically no.

About as much as a human MRI
