My husband had a scan over a year ago to check for a post op blood clot. There was no clot found. Thanks.
Surely it could have been noted that there was asbestos plaque and that the heart was enlarged? It would have been good to know heaving my breathless husband to and fro to docs trying to find a cause for pain and constant cough. On finally seeing a specialist, we were given the news and ordered a deeper scan of the heart and lungs to determine updated diagnosis. The scan was carried out several weeks ago. According to the specialist's secretary, it will be a further 2 weeks from now making it almost 9 weeks waiting for a scan report!
All new shiny facade, but mismanaged departments just like the old days! This department is a crucial area for diagnosis and yet seems to be seriously neglected/ignored by administration. How many departments are affected by the ripple effect this causes is anyone's guess. How many advertisements does the NHS pay to inform us that early detection is the key to cancer recovery? If you're unfortunate enough to require a scan, ask to have it elsewhere.
