I was to be given an urgent operation on Friday and went for my Covid Test today.
Despite trying several times I was unable tolerate the test, possibly due to past medical traumas.
I contacted the booking clerk of the urology department to advise them and they told me that the Covid testing centre told them that I had refused the test. Not correct, I tried several times and my husband was with me and witnessed my distress when I tried.
I was not offered any alternative method of either testing or perhaps self isolating for a period of time and my urgent operation has been cancelled.
I am very anxious and worried about what this means for my health.
