So were at the pulmonologist for Mr X

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.

if you don't wear a mask I can't help you and will ask you to leave. He wore his mask.

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.

From a masks- optional eye doctor. I give it to him. He had two courses of pavloxid. Now he has SOB. I don't even want to go back to that eye doctor.

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.
