    What Dr. does a ct scan. Someone told me to go to the Gov hospital, please I hope it is not true. Someone needs to clean that place up! I am sure that I will die if I go there.

    Do they do CT scans in Dumaguete? I ask because I have never heard of anyone getting one here. If it was me, I would search Google and find a blog like this one:
    CHEAPEST MEDICAL RATES for Cancer Patients w/ Diagnostic Needs: TOP 5 AFFORDABLE CT SCAN RATES for CHEST & UPPER ABDOMEN [both with CONTRAST]
    And consider a very short flight to Manila to use one of those options. But thats just me, and it assumes you are well enough and have sufficient time to plan a trip to Manila (Cebu Pacific round trips are under 5,000 pesos and a lot less if you can book a special)

    The CT scanner in Provincial hospital is not in the main hospital area where all the sick people line the floors and walls near the "ER". It is in the building to the right of the main hospital behind where the cashier is located. The CT scanner room is clean.....at least compared to the rest of that hospital.

    I had the CT-Scan when I arrived at the hospital after a bad stroke and my wife had to pay before they would do it. She doesn't remember the cost but will research the paperwork when she has time. I can not recall much about the procedure except later the doctor told me no bleeding of the brain (thankfully) so I guess that is what they checked for.

    I had a CT scan in Silliman about 6 months ago. Cost about P10000.

    The cost of the scan will vary by the type of scan and location (head, chest etc.) I had a scan done last week. The Silliman doctor recomended having it done at Provincial, rather than Silliman, at a savings of P 1500 with no difference in result. Getting registered at Provincial was a bit of a runaround, but worth it to me.
