I don’t understand the connection between the cost of hospitalization and a DIY 2d x-ray machine. Where exactly do you go with that? The article states that he underwent an abdominal CT, but of course that’s not what he built. Probably a good thing, too, as whatever radiation he’s emitting would have been substantially higher. I’m just confused about the motivation. There are lots of costs embedded in procedure pricing - some legitimate, some less so. Heaven forbid he goes into hospital and has to have an MRI. I can’t imagine the monstrosity that would result from that DIY project.
