I have in recent times had a chest x-ray as I am have severe pain from my shoulder and contained by my chest. I have be told to book an appointment in a week to see my doctor for the results. Why does it run a week!?

Answers:    I'm not certain if this is the motivation in your skin but usually once the xray is taken it is sent to a radiologist to be read. Once they read it, a report is dictated, which is then transcribed and typed. It is consequently sent to your doctors office by fax, courier or snail post. Hope this explains your wait. Good Luck.
