1/ GUYS!
It's been 72 hours since my #coronavirus test. I still hadn't heard back so I called the hospital.
They first told me, "We have no record of your visit".
WTF!
They went away and spent another 10mins checking and finally found me under a wrong name or something.

Now he wasn't trying to be flippant. He explained that USUALLY if there's a positive test result, they know much sooner than 3 days. So I asked him what I should do. Again, "Yeah, I would probably just unquarantine". I'm speechless. Sort of.

Anyway, I forgot to number these. Rushing to type. He asked me to call DOH once more to see if they have my test. And as I typed this he called me again (Wrong number) and was trying to reach DOH himself. So at least he's trying! So what should I do if I don't hear back?

The populist approach to
#coronavirus = polling my quarantine status ^^^Show this thread -
Just had the most INFURIATING phone call with
@_DCHealth. When I got tested Dr said DC DOH would give me results. When I called DOH operator confirms. When I call hospital they confirm. But DC DOH lab says, "Nope, we don't". So now they're calling the hospital to discuss

I wonder how many other patients who don't have nearly 200k Twitter followers are facing frustrations like this. On hold on the DOH line they brag, "Results available within 24 hours!" For me it has been 73 hours so far and no luck. This is America – do I sue?!

THE LATEST: Hospital called me back and said they DO NOT have the results back from
@_DChealth yet. Advised me to stay put and call back at 8pm. Urgh. I’m sorry for any of you this is convincing to not get tested but if you have symptoms/community exposure - GET TESTED!Show this thread

It's generally comforting to hear a doctor say that though, so let's all hope he's right. How are you feeling is the big question? I hope all is okay there.
