    I am one of the only people here that still wears a mask at the doctor. Even most of the doctors stopped wearing them (what the hell! thats where the sick and immunocompromised are most likely to be in the same building!)

        No it does not make me feel better that people that should know better than to not wear a mask in an environment full of sick and immunocompromised people are not wearing masks. And no wearing a mask is not worse than covid holy shit.

        I know a lot of doctors who are overweight/obese, have unhealthy lifestyles, and/or make dumb personal decisions. I go to doctors for their expertise in their fields; that doesn’t mean I’d trust their personal decisions.

          Leading cause of death of cardiologists is fucking heart disease. And they know that heart disease is 100% avoidable. It’s actually disturbing to me. If their personal biases are influencing their personal behavior to that degree, are they really going to recommend interventions to their patients that they wouldn’t even bother with to save their OWN lives?
