It's how medicine works, a perfectly fine example to make a point with.
This is part of how we avoid drumming you (our patients) with unnecessary testing costs. Unfortunately a number of physicians aren't comfortable without confirming everything, but sometimes you can get a negative test when everything else is telling you "Hey this is (insert diagnoses)" so you have to repeat an expensive test just to be sure.
Far be it for me to suggest that we have gotten quite good at diagnoses in modern medicine.
What this is saying is that if I go into a doctor with a slight fever or congestion, I am going to be considered a positive Covid-19 case.
Then you completely misread what I said. Any doctor who did that in the hospital systems I'm privy to would immediately be removed from that patient case and reviewed for improper treatment.
We're playing games with peoples livelihoods over a cold virus and your'e all like, "But yeah, if it looks like a flu, treat it like a flu" This is quite literally not a scenario where that kind of loose labeling should be applied.
Again if you understood what I had said before instead of assuming the worst in me then you'd see that is not what I'm doing.
By the by, if you truly had COVID severe enough to land in the ER you'd better hope we make that presumptuous call as HCQ effectiveness goes down the longer you wait.
