Sign on today, looks like nothing is going on? Where can a person get
real answers, it would seem the VA isn't the place... lol

Ask real questions. Describe the procedure or problem. Someone will
usually answer.
Google the procedure/problem. Also look to see if there is an online
forum dealing with your specific area of interest - orthopedics is a
big area

Thank you, I just thought perhaps more was going on here?

I fell on my shoulder 6 weeks ago, didn't see a doctor until 4/11/11,
and my VA doc wanted me to have an ultra sound, but it would be weeks
waiting for an appointment, so I went to my family doctor the next day
and to an orthopedic specialist the next week, and will now have an MRI
on the 26th. So far none of the doctors felt the area I showed them that
hurt? lol My question, why is the $2500 MRI is better than the $500
ultra sound?

Google: ultrasound vs mri as shown. Pick what you feel best
answers your question in your case
