More than 15 years na ako hindi pumipila to pay bills, but this one is the best kasi may cc points pa, oh well let's say 2nd best, after that Shopee bills promo.

Yung convenience ng Google Home.. Minsan napakalakas mag-volume ng mama ko sa TV na nakaka-istorbo na sa tulog o di kaya sa online meeting..
Pwede ko pala gamitin yung Google Home na hinaan ang TV nya na di ko na kailangan sabihan pa sya..
Kinikilig ako nung una ko magamit, iniisip ko yung pagtataka nya kung bakit biglang humina ang volume ng pinapanood nya..
Hihihihihihihi [emoji2960]

That CT-scan and MRI are different. My wife had an MRI and I wondered why it took her almost an hour. Samantalang dun sa kabilang hospital, when we needed to be scanned, saglit lang.

CT scan is a form of computerized xray, fraught with the potential ill-effects of xrays.

MRI, magnetic resonance imaging, is based on electromagnetism, and is, therefore devoid of the ill-effects of xrays.
but patients with metal implants and/or sensitive electronic gadgets, might not be MRI-able.

Radiation-wise a modern x-ray is something like .1mSv ata, while a CT scan is 7mSv, or 70 times as much.

Even the device is different, CT-scan only has a moving arc going over your body while MRI has a tube. I've seen the 2 before but I thought they were the same and was just upgraded hardware. These gadgets are heaven sent, it hastens the diagnosis of ailments. Especially if you have HMO, the doctor won't hesitate to immediately put you under it, otherwise, pity those who don't have, because the doctor will surely recommend x-ray..
