A CT scanner, built by Philips in Holland, was ordered by the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn, England from Philips in Amsterdam. Meanwhile another CT scanner was ordered by the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Adelaide, Australia from Philips in Amsterdam. The scanner for England ended up in Australia, whilst the machine destined for Adelaide ended up in King's Lynn.
Both machines have now been dismantled and will be shipped to their correct destinations. I can imagine the captains of the relevant ships waving to each other as they pass in opposite directions. Philips have apologised, and will bear the cost of the transfer.

I want to know what's the difference is between the CT scanners? And if one is better than the other???
ReplyDeleteIf so why so and if not ....why dismantle them and send them back to the other recipients?
After all there would only be a difference in the labels...presumably.

I agree with the previous comment unless there was something particularly special about one of the scanners.
