This week my daughter caught a cold and possibly croup, and I also caught the cold she had. My wife took her to urgent care because she was concerned she had croup and they refused to diagnose anything without covid testing. On top of that, the discharge paperwork said the reason for her visit was because of possible exposure to covid, which it was not. It said nothing about our concerns about croup, and the doctor didn’t seem to care either. To top it off, the dr told us to stop giving her the Robitusin (which was helping) and refused to diagnose her any further, despite clearly having issues.
Fast forward a few days and here I am at urgent care to get a Dr note to return to work after calling out sick because I caught her cold. This Dr also refused to really do anything because I didn’t want a covid test. All I wanted was a note to excuse me for a few days from work. The note they gave me is one sentence and literally says “so and so born on this date was seen in our office today” … thats it. Dr said “I’m not putting myself on the line like that. If it isn’t covid it isn’t valid to put medical professionals anymore. WTF are we supposed to do? Where can we go for actual help when we need it?
I went to my doctor of 20+ years last week. Had fatigue and had been diagnosed with an ear infection at the walk in clinic two days before.
I was put in a room and immediately given a rapid COVID test. It came back positive and that's when the fun started. I could hear the head nurse outside my room complaining about me being there, and how "they hadn't had a positive COVID patient in the clinic for 2 years"...and bitching about how they were going to have to clean the room. My doc comes in and gives me the Fauci speech (sounded exactly like him), and goes on to tell me how I need to get vaccinated because there is a 'safe and effective, researched and tested' vaccine. I asked why people are still getting COVID that are vaccinated and he immediately went to the the 'breakthrough cases' horseshit. I asked when this was tested? He said for the last year there have been tests on humans, some given the vax, and some given placebo. I that point I was to tired too argue and just wanted to leave.
I left thoroughly disgusted. I was given monoclonal antibodies and have recovered, but since I dug out my discharge papers from the visit. The doc wrote...take monoclonal antibody treatment and get vaccinated.
Why would I get vaccinated when I have natural and monoclonal antibodies?
