I'm thinking it's probably to save money. I'm not sure how expensive it is to run that huge x-ray machine thing, but it's probably a lot. Plus, if they have a full staff seven days a week, they'd probably have to hire a few more people, which is also a lot of money.
Part of me agrees that there should be a team available on the weekend, but another part of me wonders if that might be an unreasonable expectation. I really don't have any idea.

The two PICCs that I had before I got my port were put in and then I was taken to x-ray to make sure that it was properly placed. They have never done this to you?? I thought it was common procedure!!
