No apology, no nothing & the person who really did have the ECG issue is probably blissfully flying around totally unaware he has an issue...
In other words, CASA’s ARN system and its records management system are not foolproof. The existence of your photo in MRS did not prevent the mistake being made.
The more important point is that most of the medical information should not be there in the first place. It is only there because over-reaching non-specialist medical bureaucrats have decided they know better than, and want to second-guess, the professional judgments of specialists.
