A scanner built for a hospital in Norfolk ended up 10,000 miles away in Australia after a medical mix-up.
Technicians installing equipment at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) in King's Lynn, found it was not quite what the doctor ordered.
They found a CT scanner built for the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Adelaide was sent to the Fens, while a scanner ordered by the QEH had gone down under.
The machines have now been dismantled to be shipped to their correct homes.
"There's probably a shipping clerk sitting in an office very miserable," QEH spokesman Richard Humphries said.
