I’m sick and came to the doctor to get tested for covid, strep, and flu, since those are going around my work. I asked the doctor if I could get paxlovid if the covid test was positive, and he goes “Oh I don’t think you’d need it”
Motherfucker almost everyone who catches covid should be fucking taking it wtf is wrong with you. Oh I’m young and otherwise healthy? Yeah and I’d like to fucking stay that way thank you very much, and I’ll take any reduction in the chance of becoming permanently disabled.
Also of the medical professionals I saw today, they were only wearing surgical masks, not N95s and I can’t comprehend it. Why in the hell would you go into the room of a likely covid case not wearing an N95 are you insane?
I’m so fucking sick of being the only person in this entire town that’s actually worried about catching this disease, even the fucking doctors don’t care anymore. I work in a research facility attached to a hospital and when I go to the food court and shit at best like 1/25 people are wearing masks. In a hospital.
Thank you Mr Joe Brandon for ending the pandemic, you’ve truly cemented your place among history’s greatest killers.
That's cool I hope you're a good one lmao. Please listen to your patients.
I don't know how much social and political training they give you where you live but when I'm organizing I see mistreatment daily and a I've come to recognize that key medical fields select for the worst possible people. I've had the privilege of knowing a respected psychologist and getting to watch him try to "fix" his autistic children and witnessed the mistreatment of countless trans patients.
Best case scenario you do everything right and your successors consider you a barbarian because you're borne out of a system that insisted black people couldn't feel pain until like 20 years ago. I'm sure you're a nice enough person but yeah I'd bet money that CCA is experiencing medical neglect rather than a carefully considered decision.
