@ConsumerSOS It’s hard enough just being a frontline healthcare provider. Patients not masking. Colleagues not masking. In fact, I’ve been pressured to drop masking. But we need to continue fighting the good fight. Masking. And trying to convince others to put their masks back on.

@HighwayOfTearz "In July, The Associated Press reported on the case of an Inuit woman in Yellowknife who had surgery in 2019 aimed at relieving her abdominal pain. Dr. Andrew Kotaska, did not have the woman’s consent to sterilize her, and he did so over the objections of other medical personnel"

@CdnPercy @MoreauGabarain @wecarryon2 @AirCanada My daughter is an FA. Trust me, Good Samaritan “rules” aren’t ironclad. And talking about what an FA or a happen-to-be-onboard HCW can do or not do shifts the attention away from the real issue: don’t board the plane if you’re sick—you’re putting other passengers & staff at risk

@DefectiveBecca @DontInhaleVirus City of Hope in Duarte, California, has maintained masking requirements, and this has prevented hospital-acquired COVID-19 there entirely, according to Vijay Trisal, chief medical officer. “Our policies enabled us to achieve zero nosocomial infections, zero outbreaks.”

@babybel420 It sounds like you tried and tried. I think you might benefit from giving yourself permission to let go.
