This process requires filling out complex documents, and evaluations from external radiologists can take up to 7 days. This change is creating issues and tensions among doctors and unions. Doctors are calling for a dialogue to establish safer procedures. They emphasize the importance of immediate service and avoiding internal disputes among different medical specialties.
