Doesn't surprise me. I got a $110k medivac ride because the ER doctor couldn't read a MRI.

Sorry about your experience but something is off about this.
1. ER doctors don’t usually order MRIs unless it’s to rule out something called cauda equina syndrome or a spinal epidural abscess.
2. ER doctors don’t read MRIs typically. See above.
3. Even for X-rays and especially CT scans, ER docs rely on the read from an attending radiologist to guide clinical decisions.
