Had outpatient procedures done yesterday. I'm SHOCKED (well,kinda) at the apathy of everyone from patients to staff - who DON'T WEAR MASKS.
I'm not talking about when they're casually outside or eating. Literally in the O.R. and the only masked ppl were me & the CRNA. Not the tech, not the surgical nurse, and not the Dr. when he came in to talk to me before (and after) procedure.
One patient was coughing so hard, non-stop, while unmasked staff cared for her 😷 😩 WTF
I've had 5 shots (including the new one) -
Is anyone in the USA taking precautions, at least in the damned hospitals?
@BirdsAreCool Healthcare facility mask requirements here in Albuquerque seem to be erratic. Some have signs up saying they're required, some have none.
I took a friend to a surgical procedure, spinal injections, last month & only the dr was wearing a mask. Not the nurse, not my friend. I had mine on.
She asked me to come into the surgery room w/ her. I'm watching from several feet away thinking, "Geesus, her skin is being punctured & only the doc has a mask on." 
@see_the_sus I'm just shocked. Ppl always harp on about getting flu shots, which I do, but then Dr's walk around unmasked?!
The cognitive dissonance meter in my brain is broken from trying to understand the world now.
@BirdsAreCool I’ve had to work hard at stopping myself from trying to understand or even relate to much of society these days. I’m not always able to but every little bit helps.
