Overview

• O'Mega reports 24 of the 27 on-call radiologists at CHU de Vigo joined the first day of the stoppage, with the rest covering minimum services or finishing shifts.
• Minimum staffing left scheduled studies unassigned to radiologists, leading to multiple canceled tests and patients turned away at Hospital Álvaro Cunqueiro.
• Strikers say urgent CT requests rose from about 13,053 in 2016 to 21,496 last year, a roughly 65% increase, with the union estimating about 80% growth over a decade.
• Sergas offered limited weekday reinforcements that staff deem inadequate, and no new proposal had been communicated by Monday.
• Radiologists describe weekday on-call hours from 15:00 to 08:00 and 24-hour weekend shifts covering emergencies, ICU and operating rooms, stressing the dispute concerns workload rather than pay.
