I felt coerced into taking a PCR test to get surgery via general anaesthetic otherwise it would be local anaesthetic in a very sensitive area. Multiple staff members were brought in to convince me, and one brought up how they would do this for their family - I feel this was intended to make me feel guilty. I felt cornered and was in tears. I eventually caved because I felt like I had no choice. A healthy person forced to take a fallible test which has returned a multitude of false positives, just to get surgery? They have a duty of care and I feel this was abused. In my opinion, utterly ridiculous and irresponsible.
"I felt cornered"
