I hate my local hospital [View all]

For lots of things.

More immediately is today’s experience at the ER. Spouse was not feeling well, probably not Covid, but worrisome enough to go to the ER. My wife hates doctors, take to the hospital, and despises our entire medical system. So that’s the context against which we are facing this current issue.

So, I drop her at the door and go to park and then come back and they tell me I can’t go in. Covid. I’ve read stories about this but I haven’t experienced it. Now that I’ve experienced it, I have to say it is a fantastically cruel policy.

Whatever is going on, it may or may not be serious, but it is worrisome. And they are forcing my wife to deal with this by herself.

So, she’s worried, I’m pissed, but they have their fucking policy. I hope they have to experience this themselves. They should be ashamed of themselves as I sit out here in the parking lot and wait for a text or a call or something.
