I am pregnant and my midwives want me to have some blood drawn. They had a hard time getting at my blood themselves so they sent me to a 3rd party Phlebotomy clinic to get the service done. I call these people to make an appointment and I am faced with “masks are required.” I asked “will I be refused service if I do not wear a mask?” They answered “yes, sorry its not my policy its the corporate office.” I said “I understand. Thanks I will be going somewhere else.” And hung up.

I wrote to corporate to let them know I am pregnant and healthy. Masks do nothing for my health, my babies health or others. I explained I would never ever be a patient of theirs with this crap policy.

My poor midwives are caught in the middle. I apologized to them even though they are super kind to me. I said they can try taking my blood next time if they really need it.

Done venting.
