Then thousands of physicians, nurses and others were laid off due to lack of work. Now they’re reopening, at least here, and running TV commercials begging for people to come in; unfortunately many people who need medical attention are terrified to go get it.

So, you tell me, how much do those lives and peoples’ health being destroyed matter to our politicians and the medical “experts” who told us we had to shut down everything to “flatten the curve.”
Well, my clinic fell into that category, "Lung screening" as this was cancelled till last week. No treatments were cancelled for those with an acute illness, like my nephew with cancer, but screening for asymptomatic patients was put on hold.

All of my patients are high risk due to age and comorbid conditions, so the risk of contracting COVID would likely have been a death sentence for them.

I support what we are doing now, no waiting in waiting rooms, patient goes directly to room by nurse to wait for me. Room has been sanitized, no visitors during visit or diagnostic testing in radiology.

All of that is fine. Denying treatments for 2 months waiting for something to happen wasn’t fine. That clearly says that some lives matter and some don’t.

Denying treatments was not done here. So I’m not sure where specifically you are referring to. As I have stated, I haven’t watched the news. I think BS is being thrown around on both “political” sides of this.

I get just as pissed at the fear mongers as I do those that say this isn’t real.

HAPPY MEDIUM.

Not well. New tumors recently and he is declining. Unfortunately time line is typical for the cancer he has but we all had hoped and prayed for way better than “typical”. He is incredibly positive and faithful in spite of all he is and HAS faced. I know the hardest part is the knowledge of leaving his young kids. I can’t wrap my mind around it. The non rational part of me sickly wishes this happened to some worthless asshole instead of him.

Sorry to hear that. I had a friend die from colon cancer when he was 42 years old, left 3 young kids behind. It was a very sad situation. Hoping for the best for your nephew.

A friend at works wife has colon cancer. She's been through all her treatments and is left very weak. She fell up against her porch and broke a rib. When they did X-rays they found spots on her liver again. She's going through radiation again. My friend is upbeat and positive, but I see it's taking a toll on him too. He's afraid he could bring this kung flu home to her if he were to get it at work.

I hope and pray for the best for Knicky Kneehighs nephew and for my friends wife.

Mental health has a LOT to do with physical health. When my MIL gave up, she passed. When my FIL gave up, he passed. When my good friend/neighbor gave up, he passed.

Thanks guys.

He truly is an incredible young man and has a beautiful family. His wife is an oncology RN, she is amazing as well. I don’t get it. Cancer is an azzhole.
