For this cost, I can have all my parts replaced in Russia…
I am a user of the healthcare system available in Russia. I have to pay, since I am not a citizen, but I use the same healthcare that everyone else has available. Just costs me money…
2300 rubles is what I paid to have a “Carotid Ultrasound Doppler” – 2300 rubles is $34 to $35 right now. No….not $340 to $350, but $34 to $35 dollars not rubles…

I realize that some of you have insurance and the insurance absorbs most if not all the cost. I do not have insurance, insurance does not absorb any cost. I have to pay for it out of pocket. I have no reimbursement for any spending on healthcare and I use a place that actually costs me more than many other doctor offices. I use who I trust and like…
When the high cost is as cheap as I see it, why try to save a few hundred rubles, it is my life you know?
Below is the results. Yes in Russia all results are given immediately and are your possession to do with as you want… Neat concept, huh?
The specialist was, well, a highly trained specialist and she was very good. She as almost all doctors in Russia, well, is a she, not a he…. 😉 Women rule the medical field in Russia…
I have a tiny tiny spot of plaque in the right side neck artery (Thank god for small favors! I was starting to worry…) Otherwise, my neck is open and free flowing. Now I go to a Cardiologist to find out what else I need to do. I am having some angina issues and they are effecting my neck… Sucks to have my heart issues at times…
It is time to have a complete checkup and find out if I will live another few days… 😉
