Hi @NoShrinkingViolet,
I do not know if you are or were aware of the Breastscreen SA debacle back in 2012/2013, when a number of women were recalled to have their mammograms re looked at I was one of these women, so late in 2012 I received a letter outlining this, I was not asked back for another screening, they just had alledgedly 3 independent radiologist loook at the mammograms, then in early 2013 I received another letter stating that I was in the clear, 5 months later I was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer in my left breast, liver and bones, I tried everything to make them accountable, via a laywer, twice and constatly hit a brick wall, the final insult was a doctor very well renowned and who happened to work for breastscreen sa stating that 3 independent radiologists had looked at the mammogram and deemed all was in order, work it out for your self, I now have a life shortening disease, I will eventually die from this, and all because of "human error", I wish I knew then what I know now, especially allowing a breastcreen doctor/radiologist to have the final word and then would you believe he wanted to charge me a $1.000. for the report, which I did not pay.
