Yes - you know who you are. There are so many NHS staff off sick right now - don't expect anything like a 'normal' level of service, should you need it:

LongtootheGran you’ve asked this on a separate thread? I doubt you’ll get many different replies, but you don’t seem reassured, so perhaps discuss with whoever referred you or the hospital.

In view of all this , what level of risk is an MRI scan this week? 10 minutes allowed to clean the room and enclosed machine?

If you need to have one you should go and have one x

Jackjaxy, that's what I said on the other thread. The patient has to talk to the clinician who has asked you to shield and also the clinician who referred you for the MRI.

I seem to spend all my time on the phone just now, doing that very thing!

LongtoothedGran I agree with Marydoll get in touch with the consultant who referred you, explain your situation and your worries. They are the best people to advise what’s best for you.

Sorry Marydoll didn’t read all of the other thread.

Jaxjacky, it wasn't a criticism, I was agreeing with you! ?

I have done all that. Conflicting advice all round.
