Head nurse on my unit (who hates wearing a mask) is actively seeking out masks to wear because of all the staff who are getting Covid right now. 😬 #Covid19BC

So, I am redoing my annual BSL-3 facility training, and this is how we have to dress to work with #SARSCoV2 in the Lab. I am investigating the same strain that is circulating everywhere, Omicron variants KP.2 and KP.3. What do you think? 🙇 #biohazardous #BSL3 #Covid

It's strange how masks work when it's billionaires' chauffeurs, and rock stars' personal assistants, and the doctors treating olympic athletes, and hollywood movie sets, but they don't work for a cancer ward.

My ambulatory care unit is now refusing to call the lab to draw labs as ordered by the dr. A separate day trip to the hospital to draw labs is now required. So much for patient-centered care. #BCHealthCare

My dr: “well no, I can’t think of anything to help you, but I feel reassured that nobody else you have seen has thought of anything either.” Ummm… not how this is supposed to go. #ChronicLife

When the dr says you’re looking a lot more sickly than the last time he saw you… 👍🏻🫣 #ChronicLife

Coworker wonders why I miss so much. I say it’s for medical treatment. “But you’re ok, right?!” “Well, no.” “But you’re going to be ok, right?!” “Well…no.” 😂 #ChronicLife
