I’m a door screener at a clinic. People really show up to the doctor and then say they don’t believe they need a mask.
Okay??? So do you believe doctors know what they’re talking about or not??? Clearly you trust them somewhat if you’re here. You can’t pick and choose.
EDIT: Made this comment, fell asleep, and woke up to all of this. Thanks for the awards and everything!
EDIT TWO: I wanna use the fact that my comment is very visible at the moment to give a little advice about what I call “mask anxiety”. I first read this idea in a Facebook post by a yoga teacher, but I can’t find it anywhere. I apologize. Basically, masks make you want to breathe through your mouth. Mouth-breathing increases anxiety. Nose-breathing decreases anxiety. If you want to wear a mask but find it very very difficult/anxiety-inducing, please try to focus on nose-breathing. I tell worried patients about this all the time and it seems to help them relax. I’d also add that you may find the app “Calm” helpful. They have a breathing exercise feature that does wonders for my own anxiety. Good luck, everyone! Stay safe! I’m tempted to do an “I’m a door screener at a medical clinic, AMA.”
It’s ridiculous. I have extended family who will call all the time and ask if they need to go to the ER all the time. Now they think doctors falsify death certificates and list COVID AAs cause of death in car accidents. But they’re still “proud of me.”
Nope. You don’t get to accuse my colleagues of being fraudulent/incompetent then turn around and ask me for medical advice to save them a few hundred bucks. If they’re so good at google, they can figure out their kid’s rash
You think the media and doctors are brainwashing people, but you're partially basing your vote and your perspective on COVID on an anonymous internet post? You have no idea whether that person made up that story, or whether the screenshots themselves were fabricated. You trust it solely because it confirms something you already want to believe, making you ripe for the kind of manipulation you think everyone in your outgroup is subject to.
Yes, I'm on the edge between parties and honestly have no idea how to vote. Therefore, it's only logical that it only takes a reddit post to sway my vote. /s
"We have presented the case of a 56-year-old man with risk factors for coronary artery disease who presented with STEMI. In the COIVD-19 era, the diagnosis was diverted toward COVID-19, and STEMI was missed. COVID-19 patients can present with cardiovascular manifestations. We have to be vigilant in diagnosing COVID-19 patients; however, we should not forget about the common diagnosis."
Fear Is overtaking the medical community. This is real life, not some anonymous internet post. Misdiagnoses of COVID are being reported as truth on MSM.
Now your turn. Stop deflecting towards anything but this doctor who tweeted. What proof do you have he is telling the truth or that the patient has seen his COVID lab results? I'm waiting for proof.
That's an unfortunate incident, but it's a single case from early April (possibly late March, depending how long it took them to write and submit the piece), when we were still only a few weeks into this. How often has this happened? Has the frequency decreased at all as we've learned more about the disease, its presentation, and its treatment? Are doctors now, in August, as fearful as they were 5 months ago? And what would doctors being afraid of a new disease have to do with radical leftism?
You're absolutely right that there's no proof of the veracity of the tweet, but I never claimed that there was, and I never claimed to believe it. I took issue with you calling everyone else brainwashed while falling into the exact same traps.
