Just got off the phone with my Mum. She has covid.
I'm so pissed off that when she went to the doctor on Wednesday afternoon he didn't even suggest she tested! I ordered her a test kit as soon as I found out. It arrived today, and whaddya know? Positive! If there is one thing I fucking hate it's doctors who treat older people as though they're fussing over nothing.
@Tacitus_Kilgore She's an old battleaxe. 🤣 I think she'll be ok. ❤️
@stueytheround gaahhhh... that is maddening.
Hope she bounces back quickly. 🤞
@rpardee She's tough as old boots and is now getting the right treatment. I knew as soon as we spoke on the phone Wednesday that it was covid, just from the sound of the cough, which was why I ordered the test kits.
@stueytheround I've met doctors that seem to have an attitude that they're gonna die soon anyway, so...
@AskTheDevil Yeah. Mum said this was a locum. They can be like that, here.
I have zero medical training but I correctly diagnosed the glaringly obvious! 🤣
@disk4mat She's been given some meds, she's taking good care of herself and we're watching her like hawks. I've made her promise that if she starts feeling worse she'll call for an ambulance and get straight to hospital.
Dang, Stuey, I’m sorry to hear it. I’m glad you had the sense to follow your wisdom & get her a test.
How is she doing? I hope she bounces back soonest.
You are a good son.
@stueytheround Blessings to your mum Stuey! May she recover quickly. ❤️🙏 @disk4mat
@stueytheround Sounds like malpractice to me
@stueytheround How old is she, Stuey?
@Pat_Walrond Seventy-seven going on nineteen!
So glad you were on it! Geez.
@stueytheround Sending my hope that she has a full and speedy recovery my friend.💙🙏
