So I guess I qualify the COVID vaccine now. Nurse is going in this Thursday and the rest of us are trying to get in some time this weekend. My Dr. got both rounds of his shots this past month, as did my dad. My Dr said that the first one went fine but the second one he got on a Friday and on Saturday he had 4-6 hours of feeling a bit sick. Noticeably sick, but it was over before the weekend was done. Kinda nervous about that part only because I hate being sick and wouldn't want to miss time from the clinic like a little bitch. But actual COVID is worse so I'll suck it up.
A dumbass had a televisit scheduled for Friday but insisted on seeing the doctor face to face. So she came yesterday with flu like symptoms. She thought it would be a good idea to see the doctor in person like a moron instead of going to get a COVID test at a testing center. She brought her dumbass husband with her and the doctor missed the original fact that she was coming in for having flu like symptoms and let her reschedule for yesterday in the first place. The other student was seeing her, not me, and this woman ws very vague in speaking to the student and just insisted on speaking to the doctor. Eventually the doctor came and spoke with her and she just blurts out she thinks she has COVID. Doctor is furious that front desk let her make an in-person visit but they remind him that she was a remote visit on Friday and she rescheduled for yesterday and that doctor approved it.
So they do the COVID test on her and just as they begin, she says her husband wants one too. So Tweedle Dee and Dumb, both, think they have it. So that student had to make an appointment for both of them, on the spot, and then proceed to do the charts for both of them as the nurse basically had to walk in like one of those dudes from Bioshock with all the protection she could fit on her to swab their noses.
Our nurse is well-trained and not a dumbass but the woman then claims that she shoved it to far up her nose and now her "brain hurts." What brain? She then bitches about that to the doctor. I should note that this couple is an Indian couple as is my doctor. And three other staff members. So she bitches about it thinking the doctor will scold her because they're Indian. I don't know what happened with that, but the nurse did get in trouble, temporarily, for originally "allowing" them to come in-person. Her man got his too.
In took about 1.5 hours of that student sitting in the room with them getting all that sorted out. When she came out, she was livid. Normally after each patient, we take Lysol wipes and wipe down the equipment and the exam table, doorknobs, etc. 20? 30 seconds? This time, she had to bust out the bleach. Everything from the floor to the walls had to be wiped in case these dumbfucks tested positive. That was another 20 minutes of cleaning for her though we helped when/where we could.
That's the first instance I've seen of someone having blatant disregard for others during COVID. And we're almost a year in to dealing with it. I don't think it was ignorance. Not even sure it was entitlement even though she had the nerve to bitch about the swabbing after coming to the clinic in-person when she knew very well not to. I don't know what it is but boy, some people are fucking shit. The doctor wasn't in today but we were still feeling the effects from it from yesterday since the nurse was upset at 1. being bamboozled by those morons and 2. the doctor making a mistake letting them come, then turning around and pinning it on her, then regressing back on that. I think we find out tomorrow if they tested positive or not but it won't matter since we're already exposed to it. And you think those two are going to properly quarantine after testing positive or go around town being morons like nothing is wrong?
