The prof said it is a real statistic.. however he didn't cite any sources.
Interesting.

Responses:

the LA area does, though maybe not Wiltshire. I looked up the latest OECD data, and it says Canada has 8.0 MRI units per million, the US 25.9. - mafic Feb 16, 22:13 3
- Which is why wait times are insane and going across the border to Buffalo is much faster - J Feb 17, 04:05

This source says LA has more than Canada. - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 16, 21:29 3
- LA and surrounding areas - about 15 million people. Canada - 30 million. - Beryllium (iPhone) Feb 16, 21:36 1
  - call us when you guys get some fucking MRIs, LOSERS! -- nm - moles Feb 16, 21:40
- we will bury them with our needless medical testing. BURY THEM! -- nm - moles Feb 16, 21:31
therefore, Canada, your socialized health care system SUCKS ASS! -- nm - moles Feb 16, 21:27
