egads! that arizona doctor's comment gives me warm fuzzies--NOT! if it has
happened before, why haven't they examined how that happens and made the
adequate corrections to insure it didn't happen again? geesh!

Woman Trapped In CT Scanner For Several Hours
A woman battling cancer, had a different "fight" Thursday evening.
Pima County Sheriff deputies say 67-year-old Elvira Tellez was left for
hours in a CT scanner at a northwest side medical office.
It happened at the Arizona Oncology Associates center, near Rudasill and La
Cholla Boulavard.
Tellez was diagnosed with bone cancer and had been sent to the clinic for
tests to see if her cancer had spread. Tellez says that's when the staff
apparently forgot about her.
She spent nearly five hours in the machine, before she was able to free
herself. She immediately called her son in California, who told her to call
911. A short time later, deputies arrived told her to unlock the door to
the building, and helped her outside.
Tellez was taken to a hospital as a precaution, but was released later that
night.
Tellez and her family are waiting for a written explanation. A physician at
Arizona Oncology says this not the first time this has happened.
