NOT THE SHARPEST KNIVES IN THE DRAWER: Stuck In CT Scanner
Tucson resident Elvira Tellez, 67, underwent a CT scan at Arizona Oncology Associates to determine whether her bone cancer had spread. After lying in the machine for five hours, it dawned on Tellez that the staff had left for the night. Panicked, she struggled to get out of the machine so she could call 911 for help, reports the Arizona Daily Star. As the scan had been completed she had not been overexposed to radiation, according to a statement issued by practice manager Ted Eazer. In the aftermath of the incident, Eazer said that the staff has been instructed to conduct a “complete facility sweep and a series of checks and balances before we lock down every day.” In other words, the staff will now be doing their jobs. Until the technicians get used to the new procedures, patients might consider making sure their scan is not the last one scheduled for the day.
I assume you're referring to both the scanners and the scannee as dull knives!
