You'd think they'd be all about proving themselves to be competent but obviously that's too much to hope for. Here's hoping her story has a happy ending though! It's awful!

I feel terrible for this woman. She is obviously a bright, articulate and able person but still she cannot make any headway with this. If <i>she</i> can't get the scan she needs, what chance for people who are less able to advocate for themselves? What a nightmare. I feel terrible for this woman.

I was listening to our local radio station, LMFM, this morning while waiting to see a doctor. On came a young local woman who felt a lump the size of a pea on her breast, she went to her doctor who referred her to a consultant in OLoL hospital in Drogheda. The consultant took one look, told her it was nothing and sent her away. The woman asked for a further examination and begrudgingly the consultant took an X-Ray. The consultant still told her it was nothing. Now the woman has Breast cancer! I didn't catch the rest of the interview coz I had to go in and see my own doctor. How can people feel safe when they're treated like that? That's appalling! I was listening to our local radio station, LMFM, this morning while waiting to see a doctor.
