CT's give off radiation. A whole body MRI is a better, much more expensive option for screening.
Most insurance companies insist on a CT first if there is suspicion as it is more cost-effective.
The rich get more optimal medical care.

Just charge your phone in advance. I'm sure you would be able to watch it that way.

I know that this is so cliche, but our politics are so much resembling those depicted in Handmaid's Tale, where Canada was the beacon of freedom & battled US aggression.

Went to buy an avocado for breakfast this AM. It was $0.50 more than Friday. We can see predatory pricing starting before the tariffs start taking effect. Just watch the prices once they are a reality.
