I needed to go to the urgent care on Tuesday for some heath concerns. After 6 hours, a transfer, chest X-ray, ct scan, ecg, blood, urine, iv fluids, and breathing treatment I am left with the diagnosis/prescription I said I needed (kidney infection/stone?) but I also get a bullshit wait time (up to 6 days) for results on a covid test I didn’t need. Unable to return to work, losing money and hours at my new job. Probably adding to “suspected case” numbers when I never suspected that at all. Beyond frustrating. You really can’t go for treatment these days, not if you need your job.
Yes, they were right, my breathing wasn’t great. I had quit smoking a week before after 30+ years. Sigh. It’s really hard for the medical profession to listen, seems even harder lately!
Update: Just in: I don’t have Covid lol. I know it’s for safety but wow... frustrating!
