Melbourne GP Dr Mukesh Haikerwal has slammed the public messaging on coronavirus testing, saying GPs and frontline health workers have paid the price of the conflicting advice.
Dr Haikerwal, a former AMA president, said he had refused one patient because they did not meet the criteria, only for the patient to call back saying they were told by a government health hotline they should be tested.
