One Family Lost Two Men To The Coronavirus. Their Struggles To Get Tested Were A Nightmare.
“Basically, they sent her home to die,” Gambrell said about his mom being denied testing and care. So he brought his mom to Henry Ford, where they tested her for the coronavirus. Three hours later, it came back positive.
“I was not going to give up on her. I was going to find a hospital, I was going to cause a scene, get arrested — whatever it took to get my mom admitted to a hospital,” he said. A day after getting the test, Ross began showing COVID-19 symptoms and went to Henry Ford. Gambrell said the doctors performed a CT scan and an X-ray on Ross, then told him there’s “no trace of the virus” in his system, but that he likely has pneumonia. They sent him home with the now-familiar orders to self-isolate and take Tylenol.
They were glad they had confirmation now, but were confused because doctors at the hospital told Ross they found no trace of the coronavirus in his body. “Henry Ford straight up said he didn’t have it and sent him home,” said Gambrell.has cautioned that X-rays and CT scans alone cannot diagnose COVID-19.
