Guest guest Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Just heard the latest report on the TB patient. 2 tests have come back negative and they're waiting for the 3rd. If it is also negative, they're saying that he can "probably be considered fairly non-contagious". Cracks me up. Just shows you that these tests aren't 100% and even if you're infected you can test negative for a number of reasons. People shouldn't necessarily believe the first negative result they get, especially if they've got symptoms. We have to start pushing doctors for more comprehensive bacterial testing. Not just a brush off, or worse, no testing at all. It's irresponsible on the parts of doctors. penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
