Have you ever been told a machine at a hospital is broke.

And then because that the machine is broke or not working that your scheduled exam would has to rescheduled for a couple days later?
Does this make sense to you? also the machine is supposed to be checking for blood clots in the lungs, is it not dangerous to wait a couple days if a doctor suspects a blood clot?
I think it is but then I am not a doctor or the one operating the machine that looks for blood clots, I think either they really don't think there is a blood clot or they are just waiting to see if someone will die or something.
Anyway this makes no sense to me.

Those machines are hundreds and thousands of dollars. Main people go though them everyday and some time they are bound to break down. I don't think they would reschedule if they really did not think you had a blood clot. What are they suppose to do if the machine is broke? Only thing they can do is reschedule. If your clot was that bad they would send you else where you would think. Hope it turns out alright. Good Luck!
