I am tired of hearing about people who ask their medical providers to mask during essential healthcare interactions and hear "no." If you're a healthcare worker who can't be bothered to protect the safety and wellbeing of your patients, maybe it's time to change careers. You're first reaction to such a request shouldn't be about your rights or comfort but ONLY about the patient's health and reassurance. It's a shame people even have to ask for protection from #COVID19 and other viruses.
Augie, if a person does not approve of the healthcare providers methods and manners, they should seek healthcare elsewhere! It's your personal choice.
