Message: <blockquote data-quote="Casey K." data-source="post: 171730" data-attributes="member: 1090"><p>My brother was tested for covid (Qtip up the nostrils) and it came out negative.  Two weeks later, he goes back to the ER for headaches/dizziness (his ONLY symptoms).  They do a CT scan and blood work.  Everything comes back normal but next to his "normal" test results it says "positive for Covid-19".  Now, I am unsure how they assume he tests positive for Covid from a CT scan but there's something wrong with this picture.  They diagnosed him with Covid when he wasn't even tested for it when he went in.  How can you be diagnosed with it if you aren't tested?  And they put this in his charts!  If you go in with symptoms, they test you.  They can't just say "you have it" if they don't test you to confirm it.  What would they get out of blatantly doing this?  If you have a hangover, it's covid.  If you stubbed your toe, it's covid.  If you fell off a horse while riding it and hit your head, it's covid.  I say HORSE****!  I know that everyone has different symptoms and not all symptoms are severe but if you HAVE symptoms when you go in, they test you.  I'm unsure if headaches/dizziness are symptoms of Covid.   Hell, they add to the list of covid symptoms damn near every day so it's hard to keep up with what "is" and what "isn't".</p></blockquote><p></p>
