My wife, that was in the hospital, last week with sepsis, now requires outpatient surgery to clean the wound. The hospital is demanding the test, for surgery. (When they said that they couldn't require it for admission, last week. ) Time to find an attorney.

Midwestern Doctor pointed out that the facility where he/she worked, the patients were given antibody tests which had the higher false positive rate and ergo more likely to be admitted and ergo revenue. The staff were given antigen tests; they were much more reliable and basically they didn't want the staff to take time off for CV because they were shorthanded. I would ask if it is a antibody or antigen to see what they say. Or even if they know there is a difference.
