While on vacation in Korea I received a full work up (MRI, blood labs, echo, CT scan, dental work, etc) for a couple thousand dollars. I wanted to do it because I wanted a clear picture of my health. I get headaches a lot and have expressed concerned to doctors in the USA but they never seemed to care. I honestly wanted the MRI to rule out anything bad.

Was it worth? I think so. The doctors ended up seeing something on my thyroid which was then biopsied. It came back benign but something to keep an eye on and check every six months or so. This carried back over to the USA.

So you 1. paid a couple thousand dollars, 2. got a biopsy 3. it was nothing 4. probably are going to get a biopsy in the future because you wan to "keep an eye on it".

Are you sure you're not harming yourself?

I don't need future biopsies, only ultrasounds to keep an eye on its size. I don't think there's any harm.
