🤔 Ring the hospital who would be doing the scan, ask for the appointment line relating to MRIs🙂 Explain what happened..if you can attend at short notice, they may be able to offer a cancellation
Thanks tried to rebook but doc's sec. says there is to be a meeting to decide , difference of opinion between doc. and radiology causes scan to be cancelled , doc's sec is trying to sort!!
Opps! We've all done it. There is a national shortage of radiographers and mri scanners which explains why you got a call from a different hospital etc. As previously said you might need to be rereferred, so you will probably need to go back to who referred you. If it was a consultant then you'll just need to call their secretary and she/he will sort it out. Unfortunately, this will likely mean you are back to the bottom of the list and I know that in my area the wait for an mri is 6 months. Being willing to take a cancellation might mean you're seen earlier though.
