Radiology social contact

"Radiology social contact"

About: Swan Hill District Hospital / Radiology

(as the patient),

After spending two hours in Radiology- having to sit in the waiting room a few times between trying to get a particular ultrasound picture - I had a phone call that one of the other patients that was there at the same time had since received a positive covid result.

Now, I believe obviously that person had lied at the front desk about not waiting on any results, but I wanted to comment on how well I thought it was dealt with. They were sincerely apologetic (even though it wasn't their fault), explained my risk, what I needed to do, and dropped rapid tests to my house that afternoon so that I didn't have to run around town with my toddler trying to find some.
