Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.
Perhaps that CT cost is close to the national average, but I had occasion to be scanned recently (for a kidney stone, yay!) and the amount on the bill for the CT alone was over $4k. It may be because it's a new-tech CT, or because I got to radiology through the ER, but it was a little more than $950. It seems like there shouldn't be that much variability.
