A false result

Laboratory Mistake 

This was supposed to be my topic yesterday but I had to keep it for today being the last Friday of the month, yesterday, my boss did post-recording for the band, the backup singers came to stem their voice in the song, my boss life is among the backup singers after they were done recording it, they started discussing and one talked about a pregnancy test she did before getting married. 

In my country, when a girl wants to wed in a church, the marriage committee will first ask her if she's pregnant if she said yes, they will ask her to go and take a pregnancy test for confirmation, and she will submit the result to the marriage committee in the church to see, in some bigger churches, they have their doctor that takes all test, so no one will bring a false result, if she's pregnant, the church won't agree to wed her.

So this lady went to one hospital close by to do the test, it was on Thursday and the marriage is going to be on Saturday after the laboratory guy took her sample and run the test, he gave her the result in an envelope, she took the result without checking it, she has hope that she can't be pregnant because she saw her period a few days ago, while she was on the commercial bus going to the church, something told her to check the result, first she resisted but the signal was getting stronger and she decided to check it.

When she opened it, she saw that her test result came out positive, she was confused at first, (have you ever be caught done founded in moment and you don't know your left or right again, lol) that was how she explained she was, she didn’t understand if positive mean that she’s not pregnant or she’s pregnant, she asked someone and they told her that it meant, she’s pregnant, she quickly stop the bus and come out, because this can’t be possible, she went back to the hospital where she took the test and told the doctor that she’s not understanding what she’s seeing, the doctor told her that she’s two weeks pregnant, ah two weeks? When I saw my period 2 days ago, the doctor decided to conduct another test, the same result came out, she said that’s not her result, she went to another hospital, they did the test and she wasn’t pregnant, she very happy and quickly went to the church committee and submitted it, a laboratory mistake that almost cost her her wedding, just because the machine wasn't functioning well and they didn't even bother to fix it before using it run the test for people. 

There was this Nollywood movie I watched years ago, it was also a laboratory mistake, but this one wasn't caused by a faulty machine, it was the person in charger that caused it because he was getting laid with one of the nurses in the laboratory room, what really happened ? 

This man was a businessman, well, not just an ordinary businessman though, he was a professional assassin, who always does a clean job, and big men always hire him to take care of their enemies with no trace of anyone thinking that the disease was assassinated, something happened and the last job wasn't that clean, though he has already executed his target, though he had to kill the target daughter too, because she saw him and the guy he told to keep watch if anyone is coming, was toasting a girl and he didn't know when the target daughter got into the compound, the girl manages to hit him with a shovel before she was killed, so the man had to go to the hospital to stitch it, on his way there, he dropped the guy that was keeping watched and shot in because he had just one job and he didn't get it right, he wasn't familiar with the area, he saw a lady on the way and asked her if she knows any hospital around, the lady volunteer to take him there, when they got there, after the nurses where done stitching his head, he was about to leave when the doctor approached and start calling him names, he was confused because he didn't know what was going on, the doctor told him that how can he impregnated her and won't take responsibility for it, the guy was still confused because he picked her on the way because she volunteered to show him a nearby hospital, the doctor now insisted they do DNA test on the pregnancy, they took his sample and after the test, the doctor started to apologise to him that he's not him because he can't bear a child, the man was shocked again, because he has two kids and a wife at home, so are you telling me that my kids are not mine, he left in anger and when he got home, he tied his wife and kids, he brought out poison and some other deadly stuff, told his wife to choose from, the wife was trying to tell him that she did cheat on him, but the man refused to listen because the doctor told him that he’s impotent, then who now own these two kids, the doctor was calling his number but he wasn’t picking up, after the man had poisoned his wife and kids, he picked the call and the doctor told him that the result wasn’t his, the man turned and looked at his wife and children already lying dead, he hang up the call and left to for the hospitality, he closed the hospital and started killing the staffs, all because of laboratory mistake. 

These things happen daily in the world, and there aren’t doing anything about it, just one false result can collapse anything, they should be extra careful and when running test and also double check it again to make sure you aren’t writing rubbish.
