Isn’t that nice
I’m sure they have their financial struggles, but all this does is prove why we need a national healthcare system:

Crazy
People think I’m the crazy one for not wanting to get surgery in an unsafe place:
"The removal of masks in healthcare settings is mind-boggling. It’s kind of in the same vein as if people were like, “Yeah, well, HIV is not new anymore, so people handling blood or contaminated material don’t need to wear gloves in a healthcare setting.” https://t.co/rLvluSfyMU

Dermatology time
Turns out there was a pre-cancerous lesion on my face, and the skin doc prescribed a VERY EXPENSIVE chemotherapy cream (let’s put it this way, the co-pay was $82) that requires me to wear latrile gloves while putting it on — and after taking the gloves off, I still have to wash my hands thoroughly. Scary! But happy to have caught it early.
Yep
This is why I keep postponing knee surgery. I don’t want to get covid again:
The medical center has reinstated a temporary mask mandate after more than a dozen hospital workers and patients at the medical center tested positive for the coronavirus this week, officials confirmed. https://t.co/FA9ykboARx

Will it work?
Our new lawsuit, representing 5 women—each denied abortion care while facing dangerous pregnancy complications—and 2 OB-GYNs, is the first to ask a court to define a medical exception to an abortion ban.

Decent
Dodgers Dugout: It would be easy for the Dodgers to cut ties with Andrew Toles and wish him well. Instead, they have renewed his contract every year so Toles, 30, can keep his health insurance. They did so again this year. It shouldn’t go unnoticed.https://t.co/UaiDp8OlFI

Mars action
I was really pissed when I went to aqua therapy yesterday, and no one was wearing a mask. I asked one of the therapists if he would wear one when he worked on me. He said no, rather emphatically. He said the city didn’t require it anymore.
That’s when I decided I would take my Medicare card and go somewhere else. If no one’s wearing masks, at least I can go to a place that’s clean and where the therapists actually monitor my treatment.
Lots of combative Mars energy this month. I guess that’s why, before I left, I took pictures of the extensive mold around the pool and in the shower. I figure it would make a nice Yelp review as a parting gift.
I can’t imagine this happening to men
Like, “Hey, while you were having that foot surgery, we decided to have a student examine your prostate….”
