Yeah, but he didn't say it was positive. He said they just didn't do it. I guess the best way would be for any radiology that is for things other than pneumonias, etc. the radiology department should send you a fax just like the consultants do. The consultants go OUT OF THEIR WAY to not only notify you with a Cc to the patient but offers to still see them. You could say that radiology is too busy to send something, but it could easily fall back to scheduling who is doing nothing all day but turning down your MRIs and scheduling them out a month. Radiology gets a study set up by scheduling for a bone scan, they send a fax or a call to scheduling who calls or faxes the doctor.
One day, email will be allowed, and all this fax bullshit will go away.
But, in the end, it is up to the patient. If the patients had a brain tumor in eight months, the doctor must have told them that among other things the MRI was looking for a mass, i.e. "We are doing an MRI in case you have a brain tumor which will kill you and make you die," then the patient should kinda make that.
