Both my wife and I got covid. I started to experience symptoms yesterday. Since my primary care doctor was closer I figured I'd go to urgent care. I generally try to avoid them but I was hoping they could prescribe something for some relief. I was experiencing some chest pain and burning when I cough or sneeze. My ears were also burning as well.
I get there they take my vitals etc and swab me for covid. While waiting for my results, the attending physician comes in and tells me that my symptoms are more in line with congestive heart failure. He has me do X-ray and EKG which both come back normal. He insists that it's heart failure so contacts my local hospital and lets them I'm going to come in for an echocardiogram.
I ended up just leaving and about 2 hours after I walked out I get a call from the hospital asking if I'm coming in for an echo. I explained what happened at the urgent care and the nurse told me she didn't think it was at all nessecary.
Is this a cya thing? Why are urgent cares like this? I understand being careful but I feel like this is irresponsible
