[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had surgery in June and had to wear a mask during my entire 3 day hospital stay.

I was allowed to remove it once positioned on the surgical table before the Anesthesiologist did their thing.  I even woke up in recovery with one on my face.  It also had to stay on the entire time I was in my room, except for when I was eating a meal.

I was also vaccinated and had a negative Covid test during pre-op.

I was happy to oblige because it kept me safe!

While I was waiting in my room in the ER, the only call I heard on the overhead speaker more than "stroke patient incoming" (very scary, they called 5 of those!!) was "security to ER bay/room X".  Every security call was for a patient who refused to keep their mask on.        [/quote]

“Security” to deal with a patient mask issue?  What’re they gonna do, beat the patient unconscious with a rubber truncheon?  Taser them?[/quote]

Seriously? There are belligerent and violent patients in hospitals and there are security teams. Varies by hospital of course but it happens a lot in Emergency Departments. Could have been presented over the loudspeaker as "patient wont wear mask" but it's probably someone flipping out about masks acting dangerous or threatening the medical team. Security likely coming to either calm them down or escort them out. I had a patient rip a phone out of a wall once in the ICU and try to beat me with it and the overhead page didn't say "Large crazy man on drugs trying to beat intern with telephone" just a generic "security to ICU" LOL.
