Month: December 2022

My mom spent 2 days with me and my wife and the day after she went home she was sick and tested positive for COVID. It has now been a week and neither of us have become sick. So what’s the deal, we both should have become sick and COVID positive.

So why do I still have to wear a mask in my office and in the hospital? This virus has become endemic and we should accept the fact that some will get mild symptoms and a few may get quite I’ll. We never masked up when dealing with the flu.

We need to wake up and start thinking rationally as we move forward in managing this disease.

So more time has passed and fewer of my patients are getting COVID so when will healthcare workers get to leave the mask off?

So are we ever going to get rid of masking in healthcare facilities? Nobody wears masks outside of the office then we step into the office and suddenly everybody wears masks, that makes no sense.

So yes, it is 2023 and we are still wearing masks. Some of my staff cough more often when wearing masks and I have coughed more myself and sneezed. I can stand out in my parking lot and talk to patients and others, but step into my office and we all have to pull out the masks. This is getting ridiculous! I understand masking if someone is sick and coughing but the healthy should not have to. It should be a personal choice.
