Eye Doctor

I took B to get an eye exam and the staff at the office didn't wear masks.  I worried that would be the case and was prepared to leave if there were other clients not wearing masks, but then I didn't.  We were the only people there at the beginning.  The Dr. wore a mask over his mouth, not nose, during most of the exam, but took it off in his office.  He wanted B to take off his mask to use the optical flip lense tool.  I said B couldn't take off his mask unless the Dr. wore his.  The Dr. started to say that B's mask protects the Dr. but stopped, maybe recognizing that I was pointing out that the Dr.'s lack of mask did not protect my son. 

When we were done and getting checked out a patient wearing a mask was telling the other Dr. with no mask about how she had Covid and is now the safest person because she had it.  She tried to warn them all, the staff not wearing masks, how she was an asymptomatic carrier and that masks are a good idea.  The other Dr. said he hadn't believed that but would maybe take her word on it. 

B has a hard time reading at a distance and the Dr. referred us to a specialist because B's prescription for his right eye is worse, but the left eye sees worse.  So we'll go get that figured out in 10 days, unless we caught covid today. 

It's hard to wear a mask, I know, how annoying.  But it's worth saving people the sickness, permanent damage, expense of hospitalization, or death that Covid is causing.  Much easier to claim it's a hoax and show that you refuse to be owned.  I wish I had just left.
