Business ProfileforCamden Clark Memorial Hospital Corp

I was scheduled for an EGD & colonoscopy on 11/1/2021. I had to be COVID tested by CCMC 72hrs prior to surgery, so I did my test 10/30/2021. I did my bowel prep on 10/31/2021. When I arrived at CCMC on 11/1/2021 at 7:30am, I was told I could not have my surgery; that my COVID test result was positive. I was never notified of the result, if I had been then I certainly would not have done a bowel prep. The test result even states, "Will call patient in morning". I had to call my employer and report the result which resulted in my being off work for several days. I received a phone call from the ******** ****** ****** ********** on 11/3/2021 stating the hospital made errors on the COVID tests causing false positives. My result was one of the false positives. I called the hospital lab to confirm and asked that they have someone call me in regards to making this issue right. I have yet to hear from anyone. I went through a bowel prep, had to be on clear liquids, and nothing by mouth after midnight; all for nothing. The false positive test effected everyone in my home, my co-workers, and I still have not had my EGD & colonoscopy. They bowel prep was over $50, I had to have a consult prior to scheduling the surgery, and 2 COVID swabs. I do not feel I should be financially responsible nor should my insurance provider. They were negligent and also very uncaring about my situation. I didn't even receive a call back stating they were sorry for what I had to endure. This is absolutely unacceptable.
