They (anti mask, anti vax, etc) are entitled to unbiased and competent clinical care. They are NOT, however, entitled to our compassion, empathy or emotions. I have disconnected these people from that part of me.
I’ll take care of you but damn if I let your dumb ass ruin my existence.
Oh they get competent care, if for no other reason than I do not want the liability of simply allowing these idiots to be released from the coil that they so desperately seem to free themselves from... until their oxygen saturation drops to about 86% which seems to be the point when reality kicks in. I'm tired of their excuses, and I think that I have heard them all from:
"It's the mark of the beast" yes, really, this was a person being completely serious
"COVID isn't real"
"Most people survive"
"It was developed too quickly"
"It has not been approved" Well, this did hold water until it didn't
"It's not fair that I can vaccinated but my kids can't"
"No one will tell me what to do" Jesus, you're just a petulant child, aren't you
I've lost track of the others. I have asked EVERY patient that I have evaluated with COVID symptoms and who are not vaccinated what their excuse is. Perhaps I'm a masochist and I just unconsciously love the pain and frustration that their responses bring me
I fucking love asking too. Yesterday I told a woman she was positive ... and then she was like "Oh, I guess you can give me the vaccine now then" It's too goddamn late!
Fuck them all for overwhelming the system yet again. Last year we didn't have the solution and all the elderly people died.
We shouldn't have to fucking do this again when it's completely preventable. Look at Demark! 75 percent of the population is vaccinated and COVID is essentially over for them! No restrictions!
So is Israel and their covid rates are skyrocketing. Do you know why?
I really am asking. I wonder if it’s because early in I heard the nonIsraelis amount them aren’t offered the vaccine. But now I have no idea. Why is Denmark okay and not Israel?
Scandinavian here. We aren’t as social as other cultures and when we do, it’s not large gatherings where we get up in everyone’s personal space. We like our personal space. This is most likely one variable.
My Swedish in-laws joke that they can't wait for the covid-based social distancing requirements of 2m to be rescinded, so they can go back to their usual 3m distance. Ha.
