I live in a remote area (over 100kms out of Tom Price). Called ahead as I required an x-ray on my foot. Was advised the radiologist was leaving town that day but that the new radiologist would be in town next week. Was told I could come in that afternoon or Monday next week. Opted for the Monday due to work schedule.
When I arrived, I was told the radiologist hadn’t arrived - drove all that way for nothing. Was advised they’d be there on weds and available from then. I arrived on Thursday and was told the radiologist was there but couldn’t do anything due to an ‘IT issue’. Couldn’t guarantee for when they could do anything due x-ray. Absolutely hopeless in my opinion!
I fly to Perth soon to see the referring specialist and at this rate will not have had the required x-ray meaning whole trip to Perth is wasted. So frustrating given the radiologist is there, apparently doing nothing because of an IT issue! 600kms driven and a flight to Perth - at this stage for nothing. Absolutely hopeless, surely this can be escalated - everyone has IT issues, sort it out!
"No X-rays for 2 weeks!"
