predestination - previous determination as if by destiny or fate. doom, doomsday, end of the world, day of reckoning - an unpleasant or disastrous destiny; everyone was aware of the approaching doom but was helpless to avoid it; that's unfortunate but it isn't the end of the world.
That is 2 1/2 hours! Average is 3 hours now from start to finish. THEN we have to wait for the scan to be sent to the radiologist, and when he/she calls back, we can dispo the patient. I can't believe that every CT done in this country for a possible appy or whatever takes over 3 hours.
The wait for my first MRI scan was scheduled for a little under 5 weeks from the ENT consultation but was brought forward to just 4 weeks. About two weeks after that I was telephoned and offered an appointment in two weeks time (a month since the first MRI) At the consultation I learned I have an AN (something I'd suspected) and a further, Gadolinium enhanced MRI took place just under 3 weeks later.
