Missed doctor’s appointment – long wait for important results because of mail?

Date:

Franz Gillinger complained that no mail had been delivered to him for eleven days. As a result, an important doctor’s appointment was canceled due to missing medical documents. The mail defends itself: It is impossible that the mail will not be delivered for eleven days.

Blood levels shot up. To clarify the acute suspicion of cancer, Franz Gillinger from Paasdorf near Mistelbach waited as if on needles for laboratory findings and MRI images. “But they didn’t come. We didn’t get any mail for eleven days,” forcing the 72-year-old to cancel an important appointment with a specialist. “Now I probably have to wait two to three months for the next appointment,” the retired police officer complains about the uncertainty.

“The postman just ran away!”
But Gillinger is angry at the post, which he says is to blame for the woes — after all, the long wait for results delays diagnosis and treatment, if necessary. “Post office staff say it’s none of their business. If a postman is not reachable, the mail just stays where it is,” Gillinger criticizes that the letters in his and the adjacent alley were not delivered for days. finally a mailman again. My wife wanted to confront him, but although she called him, he ran,” Gillinger describes wild scenes.

No place to store mail
“Impossible. We will not leave the mail for eleven days,” emphasizes postal spokesman Michael Homola. Of course, there are also more corona cases and other absenteeism among postal workers. In such cases, however, there would only be a delay of one or a maximum of two days. Homola: “We wouldn’t even have the space at the delivery base in Mistelbach to store parcels and letters for eleven days.”
