not a bad idea, uninsured patients often don't receive diagnostic imaging from community clinics, although they do from county hospitals (oftentimes more than a well-insured patient). It is also a great way to gain local publicity + contracts from county hospitals ;)
I would consider it, though it will be a long long time before I actually practice :D -
