Had a fall & went to hospital in dowtown Toronto. Signs everywhere: 'Masks required for all staff in all clinical areas. Optional for patients. Masks optional in all non-clinical areas".
In the ER, five staff gathered in my cubicle. All masked EXCEPT the resident on surgical rota'n... 2/
He leaned toward me to examine my broken wrist, so I barked at him to go put on a mask! He bristled, but his boss stood there too -- in a mask. A look passed between them. Pr*ck put on a mask... 3/
Two days later, I was being discharged from Post-Surgical. Three staff at my bedside inclu surgeon, all masked, but -- again -- not that resident. Again, he approached to examine me, so -- again -- I had to tell him to mask up! What is up with that?! Twice, in the presence of his boss!?
He didn't introduce himself as Orthopoedics; he said "Plastics" which I took as his intended career path doing nip/tuck on rich folk. Good luck to 'im. They don't tolerate pr*cks any more than random "ragin' grannies" like me.
