I'm in AZ and going for a full body PET scan Monday. I'm also high risk for covid-19. However, medical facilities require everyone wear a mask, have temp checked on entrance, etc. And I'll probably only be out a couple of hours. TBH, the Uber ride is probably a bigger risk then the doctor. On the other hand - I won't be going to any hospitals till this all dies down. If I need biopsies, they'll have to wait.
Anyway, I think you'd be ok
- _bxg1 6y agoYeah, unfortunately what I go to is a "medical center", which I don't believe counts as a "hospital" in terms of having emergency rooms and such, but it is a large medical complex including lots of GP offices; not just a one-off specialist's building.
- mech422 6y agoStill - if its not an emergency room, people there are probably in for routine checks and not covid related. The place I'm going is an 'imaging center' - so they do xrays, CAT scans, PET scans, etc. Probably not going to bump into anyone infectious there. My endo and pulmonologist's offices have been pretty empty, with short waits. Both the imaging center and the office's had the full mask, social distancing (empty chairs blocked), temp, and sanitizer routine at the door.. If you're going to a 'medical complex', I'd expect them to have something similar at the doors since they usually have a receptionist type desk.
