Tuesday 18 August 2009

I feel like I am part of one of those tragic movies where you can see from the beginning that the plot is that something goes wrong. But it isn't a movie ...

Despite yesterday discovering that our "urgent" MRI referral had not been sent to the MRI department but being told it would be sent there that day, it wasn't. MRI only got the request today. But even though they got the urgent request, apparently the doctor is very busy and hasn't got time to look at it.

I had emailed the surgeon last night so he would get it this morning and he advised via return email that he had upgraded Katriona to an "emergency" case, but still no call from MRI. I had even spoken to the MRI department, after I spoke to the resident earlier to day and after the upgrade was sent to MRI and they STILL haven't called.

So can someone tell me that if 'urgent' still elicits no response from the MRI department and seemingly neither does an upgrade to being an 'emergency', then do you have to actually be dead to get medical attention?

This is just completely wrong.
