Yorkton, Saskatchewan -- Saskatchewan health officials say it's going to take longer than anticipated to let anguished Canadian patients know if they were misdiagnosed.
Some 69,000 Canadian CT scans, mammograms and ultrasounds are being audited after it emerged that a radiologist who performed them may have been incompetent, leaving thousands of patients in limbo wondering if their diagnoses on everything from breast cancer to broken bones were correct, The (Toronto) Globe and Mail reported Monday.
But after deadline to complete the audit slipped by last week, the Sunrise Health Region of Yorkton, Sask., admitted the review is going to take longer than the 45 days first thought.
