You think the mask is going to stop TB, but it cannot stop asbestos?

Not in mine, but I wear a mask while seeing patients, but don’t require my patients. If they want too, fine….

No hospital wants to be among the first to drop the mask requirement

Our family physician is still requiring masks in his clinic; which isn't inside of a hospital. So stupid. Are you guys still having to strap one on to go see a doc?

my daughter's pediatrician has a sign that says you're supposed to but no one cars or enforces it. Haven't been to my primary care doctor since last year so no idea, but it's in a hospital so I'd imagine they do

We actually still have a sign up in the lobby but none of the staff and 99% of the patients do not wear one.

The few that do are severely immunocompromised and I put one on for those patient encounters as well.

Mine did, then didn't, then did again for awhile, then didn't again. Were no city-wide mandates either, so it was weird.

In the past six months I have been to the offices of a neurologist, a pulmonologist, a cardiologist, a vascular surgeon, a PCP, a dermatologist, and have had a mammogram. None required a mask. None wore a mask. A couple scoffed at the idea of a mask. These were at Neuromedical in BR, BR Clinic, and OLOL at Walker. I genuinely don't even think about masks anymore.

I decided to test out how they'd handle no masks. Security guy said he'd call the po-po if I didn't mask up with the thing having his hand's germs all over it. So I put it on, checked in, and threw it on the floor of the waiting room. Every time I walk by that guy on the way out now I'm maskless and giving him a big "frick you" smile.

ETA: One of my specialists is old school to the point of ranting about technology every time. He told me they are doing more harm than good because of increased carbon dioxide levels in blood.

Baton Rouge General doesn’t require it. Was there today. They don’t even have signs up, at least not where I was. The only sign up was one basically telling patrons that hood rat stuff will not be tolerated.

Yes, because this prevents all reasons to go see a doctor.

My doctor's office doesn't, but my Vet still does. Her fat arse won't come close to anyone that doesn't have a mask on.


She got pissed at me the last time I was there to pick up flea meds. She said, "You don't care about my health?" I responded with, "I care about your health about as much as you do."

One of my doctors signs say masks for unvaccinated, optional for vaccinated. Idiots!!
I highly doubt anyone is wearing a mask in this situation then cuz I know the unvaxxed aren’t going to take kindly to that at all

Maybe they are wearing it on their chin to catch the drool. You should give it a shot
