Leo had an appointment with his doctor yesterday. We knew it was necessary or we would not have gone. They were checking temperatures at the door and seating was arranged to distance everyone. I felt very uncomfortable being there but there was no help for it.
I only saw two people without masks and they were seated on the other side of the waiting room. I thought they should have been given masks and told to wear them. His doctor ordered a c-scan and it will be done on Thursday. Everyone cross your fingers he's okay.

Here hospitals do the same things and people that don't wear a mask are refused entry into the hospitals.

@changjiangzhibin89 Yes, masks helps keep the virus from spreading but some people don't seem to understand that. Masks are a little aggravation but so what, we should be able to put up with a little discomfort to stop spreading the virus.

He got his c scan today and everyone was wearing a mask. Only a few people were in the waiting room and they were seated wide apart. They kept him a good while but I had a book with me so I enjoyed a good read while I waited. He will get the results Tuesday, so he was told.

I've been to a doctor's appointment, a dentist appointment, and an orthodontist appointment for my son. In all three cases, they took temperature scans before letting anyone in, and everyone had to have a mask on in order to go inside. I'm surprised they let the two people in without masks.

@RubyHawk I am trying to avoid doctor's offices, clinics, blood centers, hospitals, etc. Those places are where people go to get sick. Which means that the virus is floating around those places freely. Getting in the air circulation and A/C systems. No thank you! I won't go unless I absolutely have to!

@moffittjc I wouldn't unless I had to, but I had to get a prolia injection yesterday and tomorrow Leo must get a c scan, so what can you do. I don't absolutely have to see the dentist now. That's why I've put it off but I might be sorry if I lose my tooth.

I'm afraid to go to the dentist right now and I've lost a filling so I must go soon. I'll be wondering whose mouth she's had her hands in. I'm sure dentists are as careful as possible but still that's being awfully close. I went to the hospital yesterday to get a prolia injection and they were extra careful too. I asked the nurse if they still had patients coming in with the virus and she said yes. I was hoping she would say no.

Hope everything is okay with Leo.
I'm surprised that there were people without masks in the doctors office.

Poor Leo. Such a stressful scenario to have to walk into, too. I wish him well.

Those two persons should be told to wear mask; it is a protocol observed in areas where there are so many people, particularly in enclosed areas. Hoping that your husband will be well.
