I had an eye opening medical primary care visit today. I wrote this email to my provider >
"Hello Wendy. I left your office a few minutes go after a tech or nurse denied me access to service because I did not cover my nose with my cloth mask (not a n95). When I tried to explain that it was a breathing issue, she continued to insist on my compliance without offering any other means to satisfy protocol (i.e. waiver, face shield). Then I was told of her denial of service to me. I decided to leave the office quietly, as many were in the waiting room seeking attention...."
Nothing like the petty tyrants who ought never be granted authority over others > "You do not speak for me."
After I finally took the plunge and contacted several providers in my area for Direct Primary Care. I now have two 'meet and greet' consults this week. I hope today was the fuel I needed to leave corporate medicine (or at least reduce my exposure) >
Really want to get off this ride! Thinking of becoming a crofter in the Hebrides. Of course then I would be surrounded by real sheep and they won’t demand facial diaper compliance!
Great post! I love how you tied together all the headlines. Also, that's a great CS Lewis quote. Neel Kashkari inspired me to use it last thursday on my blog.
Reading 1984 with a mask on. In an environment rich with stack ironic contrast this maybe the gold standard.

The last picture is just the best.

C.S. Lewis' remark on Omnipotent Moral Busybodies aged like milk/wine (little of both, depending on how you look at it).
People seem to have become amoral. No moral compass at all, so they can't be influenced - they just think lying is OK
The lack of self-awareness in the media of 2021 is almost awe-inspiring.
Didn't know about that proposed amendment to the Official Secrets Act.
I'm tired of the endless leaks. I'm tired of no consequences for the leakers.
But.
Wow. Just wow.
AP is my nominee for Tweet of the year with that one about totalitarian regimes...
Oh, the irony. Great post!
