Speaking of COVID, I'm on day 4 of the stupidest COVID lockdown case yet.
Had a virtual visit with my primary care doctor on Thursday because I was wheezing a bit. I had this in Feb and it turned out to be a bronchial infection so didn't want to take any chances. Zero other symptoms except when I lay down I wheeze a bit on the exhale.
She insisted I get a COVID test even though she admitted it was unlikely. Because she did that, I had to report it to my employer, who now has me on house arrest until I get the results back. The Infection Prevention specialist talked to me and said "Normally we would not refer you for the one symptom but because your Physician ordered the test we have to follow protocol".
Four days in, in symptoms, the drugs she gave me for the wheezing has made it go away, and I'm still on lockdown waiting to here from Infection Control as to the results and my status. Fortunately I was taking a few days off anyway so I'm going on with my life, taking precautions just in case. I may have to work from home for as much as 14 days though after I return to work on Wednesday.
There truly is no common sense left in medicine.
