Hospitals don't care about COVID. (lemmy.ml)

I'm in hospital for a surgery. Staffs don't wear masks. Many of them cough. In the recovery room there is free unlimited access for visitors and you're of course with other patients. Another patient here has three visitors. No masks. No distance. No barriers.

I am trying to discharge myself because I'm legitimately worried I'll catch something from someone else (if I haven't already).

Hospitals don't care about COVID. Why would anyone be surprised about the general population when the most medical institution there is doesn't?

A year ago I got admitted to the hospital. After a blood test it turned out I had COVID, and despite the staff being well aware of this, most of them didn't care to wear masks around me during my stay there. yea When I was sent home to recover, they called me a taxi, because during the holiday period no one else was available to come pick me up. One of the staff helped escort me to the front of the hospital where the taxi driver was waiting for me. When he saw that we were wearing masks, he asked the staff if I had COVID, and she said yes. He got very angry at them, because apparently they thought it wasn't important enough to mention to him. They immediately scrambled to get him a mask. The fucking taxi driver was more worried about COVID than the hospital staff. agony-deep

Sounds about right. I had some staff members not keeping the mask on on the surgery preparation area with my body being prepared to be cut open. I think people overestimate medical personnel caring by an order of magnitude.
