One problem with wages is they are nothing in comparison to the cost of care for an elderly parent - most people don’t earn 1200 a week- so even working full time you would not be able to pay to look after only one relative. If you are caught in the middle of elderly parents and small children you may be expected to pay childcare too #Elderly #CostOfCare

For big items like MRIs or procedures, our patients will travel as the savings are worth it.

For labs, we get client bill prices that are often about 1/3 or so of what the hospitals charge. We mark it up 20% to cover the labor cost of billing, etc.
