This is a unusual question but we have an elderly family member that always has to be centre of attention. The relative in question has said she has covid. She did a home test. She phoned me on my holiday to say she had covid and was very ill. The next day i phoned she ignored all my calls. She then phoned me on route to hospital and she was drove by another relative. She was in and out of hospital within the hour. I'm not a nasty person but this relative is an attention seeker and lies so i take everything with a pinch of salt. We have had serious illness in my family but she always creates drama and suddenly becomes ill at the same time like a childish game. Hence why I'm questioning.
Apparently this relative did their own lateral flow test and it was positive. I asked if the hospital did a test when she went in ill with covid she Said no. I find it strange that a hospital would not test to see if it was covid if you went in that ill. They did go to hospital but were in and out within an hour as another relative took them. I dont want to seem nasty but I'm wondering if they are attention seeking again. I came home off my holiday due to them being ill but have been told not to go to their house as they are so ill with covid so im phoning them. Like I said my family have had covid a few months back. This relative without going into things too much tells huge lies. Even as low as lying about cancer. That's why I'm questioning as I've spoke on the phone to them and I get a different story every day. People do get different symptoms. However they over exagerate etc. For instance they are that ill they cant move yet i can hear them walking about and making a cup of tea on the phone at the same time.when they ignored me on the phone they slipped up that they had spoke to a few others. If you go to hospital as your that ill with a positive lateral flow done at home do hospitals now test to see if it is covid. She's phoned everyone saying how ill she is and we have all been told a different story .
