This blew me away last night. I am also a nurse, recently retired, and I asked my best friend, Donna, the following question last night after she confirmed her hospital's policy:
Q - "Okay. Let me ask you this. Do you agree that a trauma/heart attack/stroke or any patient coming into the ER should be denied treatment if they refuse a CoVID test?"
Her immediate and emphatic answer - "YES."
My immediate response was laughter. I then asked her, "If I agreed to a CoVID test, could I choose which one I want from the 409 different available tests?"
She replied that the hospital where she works (a Catholic one at that) "uses 2 or 3 different tests."
My final question was: "What if my CoVID test was positive, but I was completely asymptomatic?" Her reply, "You are admitted to the CoVID floor."
Since the very beginning, Donna has been 100% CoVID brainwashed. We just don't talk about it. I tried a few times in the past, and her anger was immediate, as in, "I don't want to hear it."
I believe I must end my 40-year friendship with Donna.
I have many friends in various medical field positions, mostly nurses, and for the most part they are like this as well, maybe because the heirarchy style training, woe to the person who disregards the orders from the top. I don't really speak to them anymore, only see what they post on social media, and I find it troubling, if I come down with anything, I will be treating it from home, period.
