This one hit a nerve! I had chemo from March through July of 2020. There was a nurse’s assistant who refused to wear a mask. I escalated my concerns three times, finally to the manager of the infusion center. Next time, the nurse’s assistant was there and she made a point of telling me that she didn’t need to wear a mask because God was protecting her. I thanked her for sharing her opinion with me and replied that I like to think that God sent us science and masks as the miracle. I was inwardly furious that she had been told that I was the complainant- especially since at that time, there was a mask mandate in Ca.
Oh my! What a crazy time to be going through chemo, much less to have to deal with situations like that. Thank you for sharing this - a valuable lesson on the importance of respecting the wishes of others whenever possible.
