    When did I say I was a nurse? Or that I did understand. I wasn’t there. I go by what my husband told me. He was uncomfortable, made it pretty clear with his trying to cover himself up. How do you...

    Did you actually read what I said the email was about? I wanted to see how it was supposed to be. What the standard procedures where. If they said covers are not supplied and multiple nurses will...

    We don’t have a choice of where we can go around here. You have to go where the Drs go if you want a specific Dr. so if he needs another repair with this same Dr he has to go here again. or look...

    Listen, this is Covid restrictions in place. He went in alone. If I was there more questions would have been asked. This NEVER would have happened if I was allowed in. Guys don’t ask questions....

    Excuse people who don’t work in the health field not to know the correct terminology of what it is that they do. “Checked on him” is what they did. You implied it meant something else, not

    This is what you do. Are you the exception or the norm? You gave your pts the choice, they decided they didn’t need it. How many others aren’t given the choice but would have liked one? or even...
