POTD

"POTD" meaning piece of total dreck?
Sure that's sound advice for "normal" circumstances but Covid is far from being a normal circumstance.
Let me ask you this. Do you feel your daughter should stop complaining, go to work, do her job, and repeat cycle if the other doctors and nurses didn't abide by the "rules" and didn't give a shit that they put her and her family members life and well being in jeopardy because of it?
My guess and hope is your answer is no.

I admit I'm having a difficult time figuring out how and why people can't (or refuse to) comprehend MY situation and the circumstances that I spelled out pretty clearly.
Fine, maybe I'm an asshole but I would rather be an overly concerned asshole who cares about my family than a negligent asshole who doesn't.
Maybe that's just me. I sure hope it's not.

My guess is that you are a neurotic Aspergerian mess whose attitudes and behaviors in the office create more work for those around you.

Would you go to get treatment for COPD to a physician who is a known chain-smoker? One who sneaks outside for a cigarette or two between seeing patients?

why do so many people go to the ER for non-emergency treatment? I know lots of people that go to ER for standard care. Talk about clogging up the system and straining already thin resources.....

The Emergency Room is in Feinberg and I’m not exaggerating when I say there were at least 40 people OUTSIDE of the Emergency Room who were in need of care and perhaps being “treated” but NOT directly monitored. Granted, many didn’t appear to be in dire need of medical attention but clearly they and/or someone else felt the need for them to go to and be in the Emergency Room. I couldn’t help but think how if I or someone I care about needed to be in the Emergency Room, we would be screwed in terms of receiving care.
How many if any were there for Covid? My guess and hope is none being that I know they used to isolate people in the ER who may have Covid.
We supposedly live in the best/greatest country in the world. Chicago is a major city and Northwestern is the primary “trauma center” for the heart of the city. I have said this before, the hospital is in NO WAY prepared for a mass crisis of ANY kind. So why are we (this city, state, country, continent, planet) not prepared and/or don't have the resources we would need should there be a mass crisis?

Health care workers are resigning by 10s of thousands weekly.

Hey, should you be diagnosing without interviewing the subject?

I know! Right?
Despite my having to endure the wrath of the guy who at many times is a complete "neurotic" "mess" on here himself, I couldn't be more fortunate to have him "guess" about me in regards to my experience/s during the pandemic because heck, he diagnosed me to a tee. FREE of charge too!
The one nice thing about having him post on here is that we can count on him to at times be pretentious (often I find it entertaining and humorous - and/or pathetic) and also remind us that when people believe they are prestigious in society, they tend to be basically irrelevant. Or at least not nearly as prestigious as they think/pretend they are.
On a related note, I would think people such as Psych would prefer to interact with intellectuals on their own level then stoop down to the level found on here but hey - this place serves it's purpose for him/them and I will NOT publically "guess" what that purpose is - despite my believing I have a pretty good idea.
