More and more convinced that if we don't absolutely have to get medical help, it is best to avoid going to those locations. Besides, it makes room for those who absolutely have to get help.
A Warning About Doctors Office Visits
- Thread starter fmdog44
- Start date
All my doctors' appointments have been cancelled or postponed, by the doctor. We are on lockdown here, which does permit medical visits, but I think common sense requires that we just go if absolutely necessary.
Not only do I want to avoid the waiting rooms, pens, etc.,... I don't even want to push the buttons in the elevators of those buildings!

Hey, all: For sure! I have a chiropractic appt coming this week been awhile...I love him so glad that Dr. H is still working. Only 2 in Portola being a small town. I myself have been cleaning extra we all are doing the protocol also. Every time we get a package and I know Fed Ex, UPS, mail all others do a great job also they are all so nice 
My parents say wash your hands, loll I do a lot anyway. I do a lot of artwork Hope this virus goes away soon. Humanity has battled stuff like this before. The folks that are passing from this are in Heaven. I hope it's OK to say this, I am a believer. Lots of love, light and Reiki hugs!

Now Keesha I would wager a lot of people would not identify a pile of plastic as a pair of gloves.They’re gloves. You perv.
And of course the other item could have been a mask, right?

I think you made the right decision. My doctor's office has cancelled everything that isn't life threatening until later on this year. I was going to cancel my appointments if they hadn't done it first. For me, I just didn't think it was worth the risk.
Now Lakeland, It’s a ‘senior’ forum.Now Keesha I would wager a lot of people would not identify a pile of plastic as a pair of gloves.

My man brought home an entire box for me because I used to henna my hair and since the henna stains hands orange, these were useful. I stopped colouring my hair almost 5 years ago so still have all these gloves and haven’t used them since.
The reason why I mention this is because when my husband and I went out shopping for a few things, the other day, he mentioned a few times not to touch my face.
Like Empty , I tend to touch my face a lot so yesterday a got these out so that the next time we go out I will wear them. I’m glad these are extra big on me so my skin can breathe.
I’m in agreement that Empty is best staying home. Right now the doctors office is probably one of the unhealthiest places to be considering everyone who goes there is usually sick.
I suggest getting gloves especially if you have a habit of touching your face a lot. In times like this, that habit could be deadly.

I had no idea you were serious about touching your face, I wear gloves and carry some wipes when I have to be out. Protect yourself with the I now I see the gloves..... I see that glove is rather large on you.
My gloves have a thick elastic backing , that also cover the tops of my fingers. Only the palm side is water proof etc. Rinse them out each day that I use them. I am told that water temperatures above 26 c will kill the virus.
I found some gloves and wear them when I am out and about, also have wipes in the truck. Wipe down the door handle seat belt the steering wheel each time I get in or out. While still wearing the gloves I wipe them down also. I take a fresh wipe and wipe my hands again. I do not like other drop them on the ground or parking lot.
Be safe

I went to my Dr's appointment Monday (3/23) for my yearly check up and bloodwork. I was the only patient there. I didn't have to sign in or show my Medicare card (never have since issued). Was gloved and washed up, removed gloves before I got back to my car. They were not allowing anyone inside, other than yearly check ups with no symptoms. They used a infrared thermometer to check me before I entered.
My wife had a similar experience this morning for her yearly blood work, one other person in the waiting room. No wait, temp checked before entering building. I suspect if it gets worse before next week, RX's will be called in without exams where possible.
