All I know is that an MRI cost about a thousand bucks wholesale back when I was a receptionist at a clinic (in the 90&#8217;s, when I was applying to med school). It must be a lot more expensive now, and I&#8217;m never going to get one wholesale. If my back problems don&#8217;t clear up I&#8217;ll probably have to see my doctor, who refers me to a neurologist, who then sends me to an MRI clinic, and then I&#8217;ll have a radiologist (i.e. doctor who doesn&#8217;t like patients) look at it, etc. It&#8217;s going to cost a fortune. Good thing I still have a job (this week).<\/p>\n<p>Oh, the new VP came by and said, &#8220;Your project is most likely cancelled, but we haven&#8217;t decided what to do with you yet so keep working on it.&#8221; I haven&#8217;t wanted to work on it for a while now, and these motivational speeches telling me that my dead-end job now has a dead-end project is not doing much for my motivation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not a heck of a lot.
