December 23, 2023

She didn't engage with me at all as I tried to explain the issue I was having. I asked for her opinion, and her reply was "What's the question?" I explained again, and she looked blankly and replied, "I don't know what you want me to say." I was asking about the possibility of a false positive Covid test, and she did not have any information or insight. I tested positive for Covid for 1 day, and then immediately began testing negative. I asked if there was a chance that I would have heightened immunity following this, and she shrugged and said, "I don't know." I asked for any information she might have about why I would be testing positive for only 1 day, and once again her reply was, "I don't know." Nothing about this interaction made me feel like I was talking to a medical professional.
