VICTORIA (NEWS1130) - More BC patients could be getting calls regarding recent medical scans. The province is investigating yet another radiologist.
The latest case involves a longtime radiologist at Saint Joseph's General Hospital in Comox. The CEO of the hospital contacted the health authority when irregularities were noticed in the quality of CT scans read by the radiologist, who has now withdrawn his privileges at the hospital.
"There were some concerns expressed recently in the scans that the radiologist had interpreted and conclusions he had drawn. There was a review and discrepancies were found," says Health Minister Colin Hansen.
