We found out yesterday that he has pneumonia. Once I found that out I went and got him from that ER. Today we find out he’s negative for covid. Am I overreacting for wanting to contact administrators for possibly causing harm to my father? He had BACTERIAL pneumonia and they forced 2 masks on him while short of breath. I’m more livid than before knowing he doesn’t have Covid.

That’s unfortunate. If any of my patients can’t tolerate a mask (even though I wish they didn’t have to wear them) I take it off immediately.
His primary care who referred him to the ER had absolutely no issue with him taking off his mask because of his shortness of breath. This is in a small private practice no less. He was able to have to common sense to put more ppe on to protect himself and NOT cause harm to his patient.
Used to be patient first - but now it’s “rules” first.
