Ampath Jean Avenue, almost a month still no RAPID test results

I went for a rapid test at Ampath Jean avenue on the 7th of Jan 2022.

It is now almost a month later and I haven't received my results, not a single SMS or email.

Reception staff is very rude and apparently ***********, their service is pathetic.

So if you want to pay for a Covid test and never receive the results go and test at Ampath Jean Avenue.

Good day I did receive the test results today, almost a month later.

Not that a rapid test is of any worth to me a month later, so I don't really know what I paid for.

Please see the definition of Rapid " happening in a short time or at a great rate".

Nowhere in the definition of Rapid does it say anything about a month later.

Hi Christiaan, Rapid Test results are available within 2 to 4 hours. Patients are usually advised to register to receive results on our Ampath App, downloadable from both Google Play or the App Store; or, alternatively, to register to receive results through our website at: https://extranet3.ampath.co.za/patientportal/. Apologies that this appears not to have happened in your case.

Ok no I understand, but I would advise you then not to super glue your employees mouths shut, so they can communicate this kind of very important information to a paying customer,So they know where to get there results.

Otherwise I kind of looked like an idiot waiting for the postal dove to deliver the results?

I have tested severel times before and the results are always sent by emails and SMS, dont try and make excuse for your *********** staff.
