We got lost running around EK because nobody working there could give us the right directions to the MRI department, made us pay a fortune due to typical bureaucracy so now we have to fight with Maccabi to get reimbursed, and to top it off they gave us someone else's results instead of our own! Argh. So, two days later we are still left wondering if everything is OK...my doctor is on vacation for the whole chag with no backup :( Hope your experiences weren't THAT bad!Shoshana Hurwitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234983651685375484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-28659103942335844762009-09-26T23:46:13.920+03:002009-09-26T23:46:13.920+03:00Shoshana -- It is my understanding that they often...Shoshana -- It is my understanding that they often have MRIs scheduled all night long. <br /><br />You can ask them to change your time, but then you might have to wait for another appointment...<br /><br />Look at it this way, 1:00 am is better than 3:00 am!!RivkA with a capital Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09411034058195730044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-23221543618136020002009-09-21T21:47:37.211+03:002009-09-21T21:47:37.211+03:00With regard to the MRI times.
