My Mother had a CT scan in STH on a Tuesday. On the following Saturday she received a text message to say she had an urgent appointment with neurosurgery in the Belfast Trust.
This was understandably very upsetting and confusing. The text message was sent on a Saturday over a bank holiday weekend so she could not contact anyone for further info. until today.
This form of 'communication is a disgraceful way to treat an elderly woman who is already very scared.
She deserves a telephone call with an apology and an explanation of what the CT result is and what is meant by the text message.
