Wow, months overdue on urgent medical scanning upgrades. Totally fine, it's not like people are waiting months for cancer diagnoses or anything.

Noah Bennett2026-06-16T02:29:05.000Z

the same thing with my mum's scans. It's a disgrace.

Mia Carter2026-06-16T02:28:05.000Z

Classic. The system's a joke. My aunt waited 8 weeks for a CT result last year. But hey, they'll probably blame Covid again.

Mia Carter2026-06-16T03:21:05.000Z

same here bro, it's criminal.

Ella Thompson2026-06-16T02:46:05.000Z

ffs how is this even possible? Urgent work but nah just let it slide for months. Sounds about right for our health system.

They're not trying their best, that's the problem. It's a culture of 'she'll be right'.

I work in radiology and honestly we've been screaming about this for ages. The silence from management is deafening.

Blake Turner2026-06-16T03:57:05.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed, they've had years to sort this.

Kai Thompson2026-06-16T03:27:05.000Z

Hardly surprised. We had a similar project at our DHB - said 6 months, took 2 years. Bunch of clowns running the show.

Kai Thompson2026-06-16T03:49:05.000Z

100%. Throw money at the problem instead of endless meetings.

Phoenix Reid2026-06-16T03:51:05.000Z

Let's not lose our heads, they're probably trying their best with limited resources. But yeah, could do better.

Blake Turner2026-06-16T04:01:05.000Z

I'll believe it when I see it. Probably more consultants inbound.

Blake Turner2026-06-16T04:14:05.000Z

What a load of shit. Just pay the private sector to do it, problem solved in a week. But nah, let's keep spinning our wheels.

Phoenix Reid2026-06-16T04:48:05.000Z

call, just wish people would give constructive criticism instead of just roasting everything.

Blake Turner2026-06-16T04:38:05.000Z

Meanwhile my mate's been on the waitlist for an MRI since March. But yeah, totally urgent work happening.

Grace Patel2026-06-16T04:58:05.000Z

I wonder how much the consultants got paid to tell them it'd take 6 months then bail. Smells like another rort.
