> The duty of care doesn’t land on patients. It’s the clinicians’ job to ensure patients don’t pick up an unintended infection. Patients have a right to safety in health care facilities. In the meantime, I can only advise my concerned patients to wear an N95 or KN-95 when in health care facilities and suggest they not be shy when asking clinicians to do the same.

Yes, we do need to bring back masks in medical settings

The lack of masking in health care facilities will needlessly spread disease. As in past autumns, cooler weather will bring a spike in flu and cold viruses while kids in

@lightning đź’Ż... you're preaching to the choir. As good as the article is, that's still the way too many medical professionals frame it -- whether the one who authored this piece also does or is merely writing in a way their colleagues can accept, I can't say. Either way, points to severe institutional dysfunction imo.
