Generally speaking down here in Metropolis, the folk from the clap ("happy
clappy?") clinic are telling me that really for gynae a chlamydial swab is
prudent but that HVS is useless and its better to use ph paper as a treatment
guideline.
As regards swabs for throats one of my GP colleagues locally who works
astride the boundaries of our two local Trusts sent throat swabs
simuletaneously to both using the same medium and pharynx to hospital transit
time i.e. the same day and got different culture results off the same
punter.........anecdotyal but food for thought......?
