Any institution requiring a mask today deserves to fail. All that bullchit has been bullchit from the very beginning, and it's over

Not a clot shot supporter by any means; but, you do realize that the lower your INR value is the more likely you are to throw a clot?

Yeah but I was 3.3 the time before that,honestly if it's my time it's my time. We ain't promised tomorrow but I'm planning for breakfast.

I wear one when I go see my doc at UAB. Not a mask wearer or a vaccine supporter. But my options are limited. It’s either go to UAB or Vandy or possibly die. So I’ll just keep wearing that mask when I go to UAB.

I’m in the same boat as far as shopping for a new doctor. I really like the doctor I’ve been seeing but the support staff is horrible. I’ve been going to Bham Internal Med at St Vincent’s 119. I’d recommend staying away from there. I’ve been trying to get an appointment for nearly a week and can’t get anyone live to actually answer the phone. I’ve also sent 2 messages through their patient portal that never has been responded to. I need a doctor that works M-F and has someone live actually answer the phone. Not much to ask for but apparently nearly impossible to find.

I don't think the mask is effective against covid, although it does seem to cut down on the common cold and flu, but if I'm at your house or business and you request I wear it, I will. Your house, your rules. I haven't been anywhere lately that required it.

DCH dropped it finally wearing a mask to a pain management appointment was just stupid.

Well I callled and cancelled. I asked the guy if they were just going to do masks indefiinitely, and he said as far as he knew, they were. I said then you are losing a patient.

Be nice to find one that doesn't require a mask, and I don't have to wait until August to get an appt.

Know someone in medical school there. They had a mandatory lecture a few weeks back on gender reassignment. The good doctor that gave the lecture kept referring to Alabama as Talibama, referring to the law that prevents doctors from prescribing drugs to minors to help with their reassignment. He told the class he didn't care, "I prescribe them anyway". I have relatives that went to school there and work there. They are constantly bombarded with this type talk.

If he/she is breaking the law and flaunting it; your friend should record one of those presentations and turn him in.

No way. Their name would come out and they would be thrown out of school. Anyone like that is usually vindictive.

I was trying to check in to the Gaylord Opryland Hotel a few weeks ago and the guy that was helping me had a mask on. I couldn’t understand a word he was saying. I finally said, “Could you please take that mask off for five minutes so I can check in.” He pulled it down when he needed to talk form then on.

UAB is a cesspool. My son hated it there. I took the wife to the free standing er today. All the workers masked up. I didn't offer to wear one. Didn't give the impression I was persuasive and they left me alone. I had to crawl a few asses to make them do what I knew needed to be done for a 5mm kidney stone blocking the bladder. Told the doctor to his face that he had the bedside manner of a honey badger. When he returned, he had a different attitude.

Setting politics aside; UAB is far from a "cesspool". Yes, you can encounter a underperforming individual in an organization that large. And; ER's are a challenging environment. But; overall it is an exceptional healthcare organization.

Record it and get it to me. I’ll dang sure turn him in. Nephew goes to UAB. He’s very conservative and he says UAB is nothing more than a liberal indoctrination camp. He’s a senior and about to finish up and said he’s only had one teacher, in 4 yrs, that was not openly liberal and pushing the liberal political agenda. He’s just keeping his mouth shut til he can get his degree and get out of there.

I graduated from the Business School there in 2001. A good portion of my professors had significant experience in business (not teaching). It was very conservative at that point and time.

I graduated in 2008 from the business school and had the same experience.

I finished my accounting equivalency in 1999 there, and I liked the professors and LOVED Ollie!! He was a hoot!!

I'm pretty sure UAB was prescribing Remdesiver and venting patients unnecessarily for covid. Those that took part in that crime should suffer the worst possible repercussions.

They got paid 20% more to use remdesivir. That's what I have been saying about UAB all along. They are in bed with big pharma.

Do no harm, its part of of doctors oath. To blindly follow a corportate medical dictate that makes the hospital more money is a violation of that oath.
