@drjoose@afshineemrani I had a CCTA without the AI analysis ( determined not to be necessary) about 6 months ago. It detected 3 different locations in my coronary arteries with soft plaque. Cost after insurance was under $500z
Honestly, i don't understand this economy when nursing homes are so expensive they bankrupt our grandparents but nursing home aides need to use food banks.
daycare is so expensive it eats up one parent's entire paycheck and yet daycare providers only make $10/hr and need second jobs.
college costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and puts students into debt for life and yet we have thousands of professors living in their cars.
