Provo, Utah — A short time ago resident Mike Mittanck went to a local hospital with severe abdominal pain.
Doctors performed a CT Scan (Computerized Axial Tomography or CAT Scan) and found nothing. Concerned, they gave him a shot of Demoral to ease the pain and kept him overnight for observation.
"They never did find out what was wrong with me," he said.
His bill: over $6,000.
About the same time Julie Webster, an MRI technologist to Dr. Wendell Gibby, a radiologist and owner of Riverwoods Imaging Center, experienced similar symptoms. Rather than go to a hospital emergency room she saw physicians at the recently opened Blue Rock Medical Center across the hallway from were she worked. They provided a similar CT procedure and gave her a shot of Demoral. But this time they found kidney stones.
Her bill: about $600.
