He's having SOB. Everyone is wearing a mask except this woman who walks in. They make her put on a mask. She wears it under her nose.
I can't stand this. No one tells her to pull her mask up. She went into her appointment.
This is for pulmonary functioning.

(16,402 posts)We are still mask-mandated even though patients walk into the clinic without one. We remind them they need to wear a mask and if we see a mask not used correctly we gently remind them to pull their mask up over their nose. They will usually pull it up for a few minutes and then pull it down again when they think we're not looking. We tell them again.

(16,402 posts)I still think we should be masked out in public, especially in clinics. I'd send that optician or ophthalmologist a nasty email, at least. I hope he's breathing easier soon.
