What's so amazing about the American medical system is how within a few minute span, you can experience the highest and lowest forms of technical innovation.
In 1 minute, a nuclear medicine treatment to "ablate" (word of the day) thyroid cells or an MRI machine that investigates every angle of your body from the inside out.
In the next..you are asked, for the 15th time, "what's your insurance?" "who is your emergency contact person?" and it's entered-again-into some computer system or even better written down on a scrap of paper.
Don't get me wrong, I am fortunate to live in a country where the medical procedures are the best in the world. There's just some cognitive dissonance in the extremes.
