A member asked:
Could a person request an angiogram without a specific referral from the physician if he/she agrees to pay for the test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: No reputable doctor would perform an invasive test that carries a small but measurable mortality risk without a proper indication. (ability to pay does not constitute a proper indication) .
