I was afraid to seek medical care recently because I was worried about getting COVID too. But it actually was very safe and fine. I thought I'd share my experience in case anyone else is worried:
My doctor's office has virtual clinical visits, and our pharmacy has a drive-through. So the first line medical care was simple and smooth.
It became clear at some point that I needed to go to an ER. There was screening at the entrance. Once inside, the lobby was set up so patients wouldn't be near each other. It was almost virtually empty.
Once in the actual ER, they told me the COVID patients were kept in another wing, and they hadn't had a single instance of accidentally admitting a COVID patient into the main wing. Also, again, almost completely empty.
Even though I didn't have COVID symptoms they tested me anyway. Results came back in only an hour.
Overall it was probably the cleanest, fastest, and safest hospital visit I've ever experienced and I was really impressed. And they fixed me up great. :) @elcaminohealth
