Then I wrote this email to my provider >

"Hello Wendy. I left your office a few minutes go after a tech or nurse denied me access to service because I did not cover my nose with my cloth mask (not a n95). When I tried to explain that it was a breathing issue, she continued to insist on my compliance without offering any other means to satisfy protocol (i.e. waiver, face shield). Then I was told of her denial of service to me. I decided to leave the office quietly, as many were in the waiting room seeking attention...."

Nothing like the petty tyrants who ought never be granted authority over others > "You do not speak for me."

After I finally took the plunge and contacted several providers in my area for Direct Primary Care. I now have two 'meet and greet' consults this week. I hope today was the fuel I needed to leave corporate medicine (or at least reduce my exposure) >
