phone call from dr about radiology - worried

[potatomama]

I got a call today from the GP surgery, arranging for me to have a Dr telephone appt about my busuiness with the radiology dept at local hospital. But I've never been to any radiology dept! I asked if I was the correct patient as I have no idea what this could be about, but the receptionist said yes and quoted my date of birth to me.
What could this be about? I'm getting worried but can't even ring drs back until tues due to bank holiday

Are you waiting for any referrals to come through? Been to the GP,concerned about anything?
I imagine if you really have no idea then there must be some mistake, so I'd try not to worry.

Yes, if you've been for no tests then it's not for you and is an error.

well that's going to be an interesting conversation if you have never been!

Receptionist has probably pulled up your records, so would have all the right details on screen when double checking stuff, but she just has the wrong Mrs Potatomama.

Have you ever had test there?

Maybe they are rechecking a batch for some reason.

When will they be in contact again?

Ring your GP

They do make mistakes you know. I accessed my records online only to see that about five years ago I had been admitted to hospital with a head injury and facial laceration. Well it must have given me severe amnesia as I don't remember anything about it. 😀

According to my medical records, I suffered postnatal depression 8 years before my DC3 was born. As others have said, these mistakes happen. Just tell the doctor that it really wasn't you!

thanks all
I didn't realise how common mistakes are - too much faith in the NHS! I will try to put this out of my mind
