I remain, stubbornly
Jun. 28th, 2023 07:40 pmThis is a message I just sent to my doctor (GP, though I think they get called PCPs now?), who says my labs are due, and who has been trying to figure out with me a way to do that with the lowest risk of COVID for me.
Somebody told me her health care sends someone out to do blood draws at her home. Do we have that?

Also, I see a message about required visits before eVisits. Does that mean I won't be given more medical care through eVisits unless I come in first? Are you all masking? Please advise.
Please require masking again and install safer air handling.
(I did find an oral surgeon to pull my broken teeth who has excellent air handling. 17+ air changes an hour, plus a bipolar ionization system that neutralizes 99.4% of SARS-CoV-2. Not bad. Dr. Brent Florine at oralsurgerycare.com.)
Here's my biggest health care issue: I've got insurance but it's not safe to seek medical care now that everybody's decided to pretend that COVID is over and drop all precautions. When people talk about folks like me they say "Multiple comorbidities? Good riddance! Just die already, and improve the breed." This is stressful to hear, to say the least. But it's true: if I do catch COVID and die, some people will say "Oh, she was sick anyway," and will be "very encouraged" that people like me are dying, as CDC director Rochelle Walensky said.
(And if I do die of COVID, or of something preventable that it was too risky to seek care for because of COVID, please just dump me on Rochelle Walensky's front step.)
Thanks for listening. Please do let me know about mobile blood draws, and future visits.
I remain,
stubbornly,
