So last Friday was taking a family member to get a biopsy test done at hospital. Takes me 2hours to get there 2hours back.
So uncle gets in to hospital gets dressed in their garb. Then they ask if he had a Covid test. Answer yes about a week ago. Tested negative.
Oh sir you need to have a Covid test 3days prior to getting a biopsy. What yeah. So we leave go to reschedule I ask the nurse well what happens if he were to take the test and then possibly get it the next day. No answer. So I said well for the sake of everyone’s safety will the doctor be tested as well. No then she tells me she’s never been tested either nor did she want to be.
Mind you during the time it was all polite and we both had a laugh. Yet that shits not funny. I know it’s not her fault what not. But really....
Is this standard protocol in hospitals ? Nurses and doctors not being tested? Seeing they are in the war zone sorta speak with a virus as they say you don’t even know you have it.until you possibly could have infected someone else?

I don’t believe the test are accurate anyways, so what’s the difference?

That's the problem in all of this.. We've allowed corporate lawyers that are scared of everything from lawsuis to not being "woke" to determine courses of action for an infectious disease. Most of it is arbitrary, unfounded, and for show. Why do you need a covid test if masks offer protection to infected and uninfected persons? Is the risk of covid between two people wearing masks somehow more dangerous than missing a chance to detect cancer at an early stage? freaking stupid.

They can charge for a test on a patient but they have to pay for a test on an employee. It’s all about the Benjamins
The United States is a model for other countries to follow in this pandemic. Outstanding leadership and planning. Btw any hospital worth a shit would inform a patient the pre procedure requirements prior to the appointment - doncha reckon
Union hospital. Yeah ya would think. Trying to grease the wheel with all these appointments is frustrating to say the least. Been a rodeo. I had five appoints starting tommrow through next week got it down to 3.. It’s a mess to say the least.
Yeah, I read some where they get 13 or 14k if someone tests positive for the kung flu. Not sure if it’s true or not. But damn man co pays co pays and a lot more to come. Pisses me off. Yet gotta play the game . Don’t want hostility with the people this is going to be a journey.
Exactly!! I told her once he got back to room and put on the garb it shoulda been done. A couple of the nurses even tried to get biopsy done. Told my uncle the doctor coulda done it but choose not to.
I told my uncle he may have been his last appointment of the day. So he got the rest the day off. It’s absolutely lunacy. It’s frustrating to see him frustrated. His wife of 50 years died from lung cancer a couple years back. It’s a brutal way to go. I try just to keep him in good spirits. Sorta laughed it off and said we just going to have to go back.
Shoulda had a side bar with Dr Douchebag....After pissing his pants he may have changed his mind...
