I had a routine consult with a new gyn yesterday. No exam, just a initial visit. She was probably late 30s and was wearing scrubs, a head covering, gloves, an n95 mask, a surgical mask, a cloth mask and a face shield. Her first words to me were that she had to be extremely cautious because she had children and omicron was so dangerous. I…
I had a routine consult with a new gyn yesterday. No exam, just a initial visit.

Her first words to me were that she had to be extremely cautious because she had children and omicron was so dangerous. I had a lot of difficulty understanding anything she was saying. She also rolled the stool she sat on as far away from me as possible. I won't be seeing her again.
It's amazing, isn't it, that corporate doctors act like all their patients have leprosy. And, I think of the great medical heroes of the past, of the saints (Mother Teresa, for instance) that sacrificed their lives to help people, those that got us to where we are, that fought the great diseases, that cared for their people with compassion, and I despise these medical cowards.
Thank goodness...I was going to recommend the same thing. The quality of people admitted to medical school now (and as house staff) has declined so much that many in our medical school class (of several decades ago) have made a pact to take care of each other until the last one is dead instead of letting ourselves into the clutches of some of these people (like this one) who clearly lack the mental capacity to be competent doctors. Prima facie, if you were competent you would not be acting like this...no science to a word she said. This kind of behavior is really unforgivable from someone who should know better. At least find a doctor who understands immunity, biology, and human behavior.
I went to medical school nearly 40 years ago and it was shite then. I suddenly woke up on the very first day when the Dean addressed the incoming class and said "you are the creme of society"
What?
I had my head on a swivel and only about eight other people weren't in thrall to that statement.
Made friends with them after the talk.
Mostly good people but all lost to me now.
two or three doctors amongst them but I would not trust them any more than any other doctor who still has a license.
Wow wtf. Meanwhile she’s prolly already sacrificed her children to the injections. Why do people keep lining up for their shots if they don’t feel they work? Mass psychosis.

I would have laughed and walked out.
Please tell me you verbalized to this person how crazy you think she is. They need to hear it. They need to feel push-back.
What's really terrifying is this doc will get her kids jabbed. No grandchildren for her ...
That may be a good thing...
Yep. Some genes don't belong in the pool.
yes, my respect for the medical and the veterinary professions has sunk to new lows.
One of the vets I used to go to has a sign on the door saying wearing a mask protects us all.
I went in mask-less to argue the point and she was agreeing with me, from behind her mask.
I basically argued that our compliance was dooming us all.
But there was (of course) no change in behaviour.
Now I am sure she feels justified as the .gov has now made a masks everywhere at all times mandate again.
Yes, even outdoors alone again.
Thank goodness my vet (so far) & staff even though masked don't say anything to me for not being. I refuse.
needless to say I won't comply as I didn't the first time. I hate having to even carry one around so as to avoid being fined. Can't afford the fines.
I'm glad you won't be seeing her. She clearly doesn't know much.
That's terrifying.
