"Worried I may lose my job"

About: William Harvey Hospital (Ashford) / Trauma and orthopaedics

(as the patient),

I had an MRI scan on my lower back in July 2013. Six weeks later I have still heard nothing. My doctors just keep telling computer problems! My occupational health department at work have even emailed an email address given by the X-ray hotline, and we have got no where!

I would really like to get back to work in some capacity, however occupational health will not let me until they have some results! So basically the nhs are the ones stopping me getting back to work!

I am now losing money as have been off work nearly 3 months, and I am worried I may lose my job!

Please can someone tell me what is going on?
