TUCSON, Ariz. -- A cancer patient says she was left alone in a CT scanner for hours after a technician apparently forget about her, and she finally crawled out of the device, only to find herself locked in the closed clinic.
Elvira Tellez of Tucson said she called her son in a panic, and he told her to call 911.
Pima County sheriff's deputies arriving at the oncology office had her unlock the office door to let them in, said Deputy Dawn Hanke, a department spokeswoman.
The deputies contacted the office manager, who was not aware of the situation.
Tellez was taken to a hospital as a precaution, then released early the next day.
Tellez said she's had trouble sleeping since last week's incident. more @ link http://www.wsbtv.com/health/14228200/detail.html
