Also that Seinfeld episode.
I remember myth busters testing this
There was even a Mythbuster episode where they confirmed it. IIRC, their test popped reliably after two bagels.
Yeah it was a good episode. They were blown away.
The last thing I saw about this very topic had mentioned that most newer tests did not have this false positive issue, but many older tests did.
More reliable tests cost more money and the hospitals won't pay for it (often, anyway).
Sorry we took your new born away, but ya know, we just can't afford a better test.
You'd think they'd opt for it after the cheaper test popped positive before people lost their jobs or children.
They can just do a definitive test before reporting, that would solve all of this.
Isn't that what I said?
You'd think they'd just pass the cost of the better test on at an 8000% markup like they do with everything else.
