Review of 2300 Radiology Scans, After another B.C. Doctor Found Guilty

radiology-scansThere were prior reports of faulty radiology scans, there is more on the block. Yet another B. C. radiologist has been found guilty of misreading the scans. For this reason, Health officials have to go through the process of reviewing as many as 2300 scans.

There are phone calls being made and messages being sent to patients to come to these hospitals for a review of their previous test reports. The Doctor is an employee of the Ridge Meadows Hospital from November last year to early this month.

Before this, he was working with Abbotsford in the years 2008-09. There is going to be a review now, of all the reports he examined in these years.

There are a growing number of untrained or amateur doctors, who put the lives of their patients under serious threat. Early in the month of February, there were announcements made by the ministry of health for the reviewing of radiologists in B. C., after there were two doctors found guilty in the same matter.
