We do it partially on price but mostly by trying to offer an individual service to patients and GPs. <BR/>This is all new to me but it is working out and we can now afford to run the scanner 2 hours a day longer for NHS patients. <BR/>Hope thing go well for you. <BR/>Regards Xavier (yes you were right)Dr Xavier Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09068308374633857210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011346881005913563.post-75315111625626490342007-09-10T11:54:00.000+00:002007-09-10T11:54:00.000+00:00Hello Dr Ray (first name Xavier perchance?)Thank y...Hello Dr Ray (first name Xavier perchance?)<BR/><BR/>Thank you for stopping by my humble prickly bush, and for letting me know about your service in Hereford. I was pleased with the service in Cheltenham they gave me 6 big pages of Rorschach inkblots allegedly representing my spine and reproductive bits, although admittedly the VQ scan I had while pregnant was much prettier.<BR/><BR/>I will consider your service should I need to do it again, but "softer" factors come into play such as an extra hour on the journey when you're in excruciating pain and have a screaming infant in tow.<BR/><BR/>I hadn't realised it was charity subsidised (I'd have put a tenner in the box had I known, but it wasn't forefront on my mind), but it was way cheaper than the £600 BUPA were charging.<BR/><BR/>Wishing you lots of luck with your venture.<BR/><BR/>Kind regards<BR/><BR/>Mrs TAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
