From Coachk who works in a large hospital system in NE, there have been intermittent shortages of supplies and people at various times over the last year. My mom at 96 fell, got a small scratch on her head and went from the assisted living to the hospital at 7pm. Had to wait for shift change and back up to clear to get an X-ray and a 5 minute read of negative because the prior shift didn't show up got us back home at 3 AM. about 6 months or so ago, A friend's sister is an X ray tech at the hospital and lost a week of work being sick. ..

So there could be employee issues, turnover, could be supply issues, could be many issues, etc. . . small specialty staff locations can be most volatile with issues. . .

Best to always have options and there is no reason to be loyal to a location if your health is at risk waiting on a diagnostic procedure.

good luck. . .
