Lau, P., & Illes, J. (2009). The gray zones of privatized imaging. American Journal of Bioethics, 9(4), 21-22. In United States, issues of private imaging are just like turning your head. It’s a common aspect which you don’t have to take long so that you discover companies which provide the same services as described by the author. Users who want private services in respect to Lau are ready available simply because there are hundreds of companies which provide scan and other related private services.
In United States, Lau says that companies that provide private health services such as computed tomography and the like are so many such that an individual in need of those services will just look where he or she is standing in the street and get it. Those private services have made the neighboring countries use the services simply because they are readily available and at the same time they are affordable compared to the services provided back at home. A good example is Canadian consumers.
Leah Rosenberg has a different opinion on the same argument about the private healthcare services provided the companies. Although the later says that those services are better, Rosenberg argues that since the private imaging is wide spread, there is a risk of having services that are not complete and at the same time services that are not profession. Instead of patients using private healthcare services, its wise that the patients express their requests so that the relationship pf the patient and physician not to be broken. For such private services, there is a great risk whereby an individual may get services which were not the intended ones.
