Review of Rapides regional medical cente...

My husband was taken by helicopter to Rapides Regional from Polk. At Polk I was allowed to see and be in the room w my husband. He has a head injury and is unconscious. Once I got to Rapides, I waited for a hour. I watched the front desk do a shift change and the first lady walked away without relaying to her coworker that I was even there. I approched the new front desk associate and she gave me a sticky note to put down my name and number. She told me that my husband tested positive for COVID-19. How was he tested while unconscious and tubes in his nose and throat? I told the front desk that the both of us already had COVID-19 and he recently got his first vaccine a week ago, could that maybe be the reason for testing positive? She just looked at me without a response.
I got no update on his condition. No information what so ever besides "we will call to update."

So you're telling me that the doctors, nurses, medics in the helicopter and everyone that worked on him at Bjach for 5 hours prior to sending him to Rapides, missed the positive result? Not to mention I was in direct contact with someone who is positive and they just let me go home seems logical
