I have had multiple dealings with Medical Imaging over the last year, mostly good. However, the last time I was there for a pregnancy related scan as they thought something was wrong, the clinician appeared rude to me and disinterested and rushed through the procedure. I had a difficult pregnancy to begin with which made it worse when they behaved the way they did. Baby turned out to be fine but I felt the clinician did not put my mind at ease during the scan.
Also, my elderly parent was supposed to have a CT scan but when the staff member rang my parent to book this in, it seemed to me they were trying to bully my parent into getting a different scan (MRI) which would cost $100's. I believe my parent was also being given misinformation about what the different scan would entail.
I have had a MRI in the last year, on the same body part so I know what it entails and as I understand it, what the staff member was saying was completely wrong. I didn't appreciate my elderly parent being seemingly bullied into anything and when my parent said they were going in for a CT as that is what the GP wanted, I believe the staff member on the phone would not take no for a answer. In the end, my parent has cancelled everything and not going to go ahead with the scan purely because of the way they felt bullied. Based on my experience, not impressed at the level of patient care and safety.
