Re: COVID-19 testing (address@hidden)

[Arthur Torrey]

The thing I've found necessary in such situations is to keep bouncing the ball 
back into their court...  
"You need to use tech"
-I don't have tech
"We can't do it w/o the tech"
-That's not my problem, find a solution...
"We don't have a solution"
- Are you refusing to provide care?  Are you engaging in discrimination? Can I 
speak to your manager?
etc...
Ask them who their accrediting body is, and how to file a complaint...  
Most hospitals are REQUIRED to have a 'patient ombudsman' who's job is to 
advocate for patients having problems - drop it in their lap...
Basically you need to be enough of a pain in the posterior that they will find 
a solution just to make you shut up and go away...
