There have been some horrible accidents 
involving MRI scanners, and stray metal 
either in the room, fragments in the patient,
or even undiscolsed older implants.

The last one I heard about involved a
young boy who was emergently sent to MRI 
and in the rush to get him scanned nobody 
realized a portable O2 tank had been brought
in and was parked in a corner.  During the 
scan it was sucked into the MRI tube and the 
boy's head was crushed.

        Sounds like bad design of room/rooms.

Re #56: It probably has more than a little to do with the fact that drug
company profit margins are some of the highest in existance.

Re #66: My personal experience is different.  My employer cut back on
health care benefits and I didn't get any increase in salary.  In fact
no one has had a raise in two years.  Maybe it's 'cause I'm not union.

Re #68: Most grades of stainless steel are not attracted to magnets.

This is not evidence that the labor cost, in total, was reduced.  It 
may, in fact, have increased.

I suppose.  Still, I have my doubts.  Salaries are set by competition on
the labor market, so just because an employer saves money doesn't mean
they'll pass that along as higher salaries.  Unless the labor market is
tight they'll probably just pocket it.

(Salaries/wages AND benefits - i.e., total labor costs - are set by 
competition??)

That may be, but salary is what's usually advertised.

(It is?????  We generally see benefits listed, but no salary level.)

I see benefits listed for things like government jobs, where the salary
is almost always lower than an equivalent private sector job, in an
attempt to make the job seem more attractive.  I don't think I've seen
benefits listed on a regular basis for private sector jobs.

Do you find that the private sector is not delivering whores of
sufficient quality?
