Hobson's Choice

Desmond79

I will be seeing my Doctor at 3:50 pm today, about my Tinnitus, and the Doctor asked, "Will you be wearing your Face-Mask?" She left me with little option but to agree. (I had mentioned to her that I have Asperger's, but was placed on the spot and couldn't advocate for myself)

It was the ultimate Hobson's Choice. From now on, I'll avoid the Doctors' Surgery as humanly possible.

  • It's pretty obvious the second wave is already waving two fingers at us. I'd rather not have to wear one, but right now I'm quite happy to stay where I am and wear a mask. For socially-distanced open air exercise and at home it comes off. So I don't wear it that much really. With medical visits it stays on. It shows some respect for them and their high-risk occupations.

    When I worked in a dusty environment in the UK, I always wore a facemask. Which reminds of a former colleague. He too always wore a facemask while we were doing dusty jobs, but his mask always had a small strategically-located hole drilled in it, so he could smoke at the same time. Duh! (But you couldn't really ask for a more pleasant colleague.)
